🐰 Did you know that Easter egg foil wrappers are recyclable? Simply clean the chocolate off the foil and scrunch it into a fist-sized ball and place it into your yellow-lid recycling bin.

🐣 You can also recycle any cardboard easter egg packaging. Simply flatten it and pop it into your recycling bin too.

🌀 Service Update – Tuesday 11 March 🌀

Our services are steadily recovering, and we appreciate your patience as we navigate these challenges. Here’s the current plan for tomorrow (Tuesday):

🔹 Vehicle Ferries:
Great news! Our vehicle ferries will be back to their normal timetable from Tuesday. You can check the schedule and make bookings online here: https://www.sealink.com.au/north-stradbroke-island/

🔹 Passenger Ferries:
Passenger ferries will operate during daylight hours, starting with the first service from Cleveland at 5:45am and the last service departing Dunwich at 5:30pm. We are unable to operate at night due to the risk of debris, so please plan your travel accordingly.

⚠️ Dunwich Office Closure:
Our Dunwich office did not cope well in the rain and will remain closed for the foreseeable future. We have a reservations consultant stationed in Dunwich and another on a vehicle ferry, but operations are still challenging.

✉️ NSI bookings are open online. For any enquiries, please contact our team at 07 3488 5300 or email [email protected].

🙏 Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work hard to restore full service. We’ll continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
