SeaLink South East Queensland general manager Heather Truman said numerous factors had been considered in making the changes.

“Offering exceptional flexibility, additional ferries will be added to the timetable over peak travel periods including school and summer holidays, long weekends and when special events are held on the island,” Ms Truman said.

The new timetable takes effect from Monday, June 10 and passengers can book online for all dates up to March 31, 2020.

There are no changes to the water taxi timetable.

The new SeaLink timetable will provide a minimum of 22 vehicle ferry departures daily, with extra services during school and public holidays.

Ms Truman said SeaLink operated a vessel fleet of 80 and a coach fleet of 62 vehicles across the country, serving eight million passengers a year.

“Our Adelaide-based company has undergone a remarkable period of growth, emerging as a significant player on the national tourism and transport scene,” she said.

“At SeaLink, we believe travel is about connecting people, sharing experiences and creating brilliant memories.
