Temporary Cruise Ship Access

We know how important the cruise ship industry is to Kangaroo Island’s economy and we have made a commitment to ensure cruise ship tenders can continue to berth at Penneshaw during the Penneshaw Port Upgrade.

Cruise ship tender access will be accommodated through the construction of a temporary berthing pontoon on the inside of the breakwater. This will allow up to two standard tenders to berth at any one time (or one larger tender). A DDA compliant concrete footpath will be installed for cruise ship passengers to transit from the pontoon to the SeaLink terminal port precinct including coach parking.

Temporary cruise ship tender facilities will be in place and ready for use when cruises to KI resume in October 2024.
