**You may think you don't need a reservation system, but due to the Homeland Security Act (US Operators), boat operators must now submit plans for stepped up security at the 3 MARSEC levels. Our Patron ticketing with the ferry reservation module gives all boat operators and their ticket agents the ability to instantly switch from MARSEC level 1 to a higher security level and begin collecting stepped up passenger identification at any time, with minimal impact to your existing procedures.
