Transperth Ferry Operations

Ferry patronage has continued to decline and as a result PTA failed to meet the 2004/05 target.

Ferry operations continue to be dependent on tourist traffic, which accounts for almost half of total boardings. The ferry service is therefore very susceptible to tourism fluctuations, such as downturns associated with international economic issues and tourism security concerns.These issues have impacted ferry numbers for the last few years.
