M. V Green Ocean is a new ferry that was launched in mid-2015 to help travelers move from one island to the other in an economical way. This is quite similar to the Government ferry, but with better seating and space. 

Green Ocean 1 is the only private cruise to have an open deck where you can get a panoramic view of the open sea during the ride.  You can go outside your seating space to the open deck to get better views, entertainment, and dance to the music. 

The total seating capacity is 198 seats divided into four different classes of seating Lower Deck- Economy, Executive & Upper Deck- Luxury and Royal Class. This ferry puts forward an altogether different experience for travelers visiting Andaman Island. The best part about this ferry is that it has plenty of space for travelers to walk around during their ride. With fast cruises (Makruzz and Coastal Cruise) such options are not available. 

The seats are comfortable, spacious, and the passengers can travel at ease throughout the entire trip.

The cruise has a pantry for some snacks and beverages for the passengers, televisions on each deck, and a music system for entertainment. You have the choice of choosing your seats while booking your ferry tickets. 

We recommend photographers to opt for Green Ocean 1 during your return from Havelock as the sunset view is incredible around this time for capturing some amazing stills of the sunset. 

Since Green Ocean 1 has an open deck it moves very slowly and it is the slowest among all the other cruises. We suggest you choose Green Ocean 1 for your journey at least once to experience the open deck journey.

This ferry sails in all the 4 sectors :  

Port Blair To Havelock Havelock To Neil Island Neil Island To Port Blair Havelock To Port Blair

You may select this ferry in any of the sectors.

Andaman Government Ferry Services

Government ferries from Havelock to Port Blair are operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS). The department primarily operates for the convenience of local islanders. Since this is the only way of transportation for the islanders, tickets are highly subsidized for them. Residents also have a decent local knowledge which makes using government ferries convenient for them. 

Though slightly cheaper in comparison to the private ferries, government Ferry booking is not available on our platform as we think that from a tourist’s point of view, it’s not the most feasible way. However they’re available everyday and depart from Phoenix Bay Jetty.

Why do we recommend Private ferries over Government ferries?

As mentioned earlier, we as localities feel that for a more relaxed and hassle-free holiday experience, it’s advisable to opt for private ferries which primarily work for the travellers.The government ones are designed mainly for local transportation and may not be the ideal choice for tourists. Go2Andaman does not facilitate bookings for government ferry tickets. If you plan to use them, tickets can be purchased at the offline counters and offices. Keep in mind that ticket queues tend to form early in the morning, and if you find yourself at the back of the line, there’s a chance that seats may be occupied by the time your turn arrives. Moreover, having only limited seats, the tickets on government ferries are booked months in advance, sometimes the waiting is 4-6 months.
