  • The driver will be given a tag in the garage indicating the bridge-garage where the car is parked.
  • For safety reasons, it will no longer be possible to enter the garage during the trip, therefore, be sure to take everything you need with you.

  • LPG vehicles must be noted to GNV staff at the time of embarking. They will be parked in an ad hoc section of the ferry garage.
