Safety On Board

number of safety procedures which must be followed. These are in place for your benefit and safety.

Cabins

Vehicle Loading Procedure
Loading vehicles onto the Normandy must satisfy certain safety procedures. To achieve the best loading arrangements please be aware that a vehicle that has checked in after you may be loaded before you.

Embarkation
On arrival on the car deck a staff member will direct you to a parking space. Before leaving your vehicle please ensure you have:

• Switched off the lights.
• Switched off the ignition.
• Applied the hand-brake.
• Left the vehicle in gear.

For safety reasons it is not possible to return to your vehicle while the ship is at sea, so please remember to take any hand luggage you may require during the crossing, along with any valuables.

Check Your Stairways
To help you locate your vehicle at disembarkation time, we have colour coded each stairway; please remember the colour of the door nearest your vehicle as you leave the car deck. On arrival, please do not proceed to your vehicle until told to do so. Your co-operation is very much appreciated and will assist in a smoother disembarkation.

Disembarkation
Wait until the last moment before starting your vehicle's engine so as to avoid polluting the air on the vehicle decks. When disembarking, follow the instructions given by the ship's staff.
