The longest-running and most established provider in terms of connecting the several Andaman Islands is Government Ferry. Since residents mostly use the Government Ferry for inter-island transportation, it is considered the lifeline of the islands. The ferry that travels from Port Blair to Havelock and Neil Island is by far the strongest. It is owned and operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS), A&N Administration.
The thrill of traveling on a government ferry is the cut above the others as some seats are placed on the deck while the others are placed in the cabin. The ones seating on the deck can visit the captain's corner. One of the plus points of the government ferry is that it sails in any weather conditions and is always sharp on time and equipped with safety features. This ferry has helped the commute of the local islanders for all the previous years when private ferries were not in the picture.
