Guns and Firearms
Irish Ferries operate to the highest safety standards, as set down by the International Maritime Organisation and monitored by the regulatory authority in each country.
If you are travelling on our Dover – Calais route you must email Dover@irishferries.com in advance of your arrival to advise you will be carrying a firearm and to confirm that you will have the required documentation ready for inspection.
Email must include your Irish Ferries booking reference number and vehicle registration.
Guns and Firearms - Motorists are only permitted to bring sporting guns on board. You must declare the guns at check-in and they should be left in the boot of your vehicle for the duration of the voyage. Passengers travelling without vehicles are not allowed to bring sporting guns on board.
All firearms should be accompanied by a current valid Firearm, Shotgun or Registered Firearms Dealers (RFD) certificate and these should be available for inspection on request by security personnel at the port.
Ammunition - Ammunition is not allowed on any Irish Ferries vessel. If you bring ammunition with you to the port it will be confiscated and disposed of.
