Safety and security throughout the Port Adelaide Passenger Terminal are afforded the highest of priorities.

In accordance with Federal maritime security requirements, secure zones have been established within the Passenger Terminal building to facilitate the screening of passengers and baggage.

Please follow directions given by security personnel and Flinders Ports and proceed through security screening checkpoints as instructed.

Passenger Screening
All passengers and visitors are subject to security screening prior to boarding the ship. The screening process seeks to detect prohibited items such as weapons, including knives. Detection of these items at screening points may increase the wait time for passengers and we request your patience.

Checked baggage is also subject to x-ray screening.

All screening at the Passenger Terminal is performed to Australian Government standards by trained personnel using x-ray machines, walk-through metal detectors and hand-held metal detectors. Explosive trace detection systems may be introduced at the passenger screening points, with random screening of passengers and carry-on goods.

Pick up/drop off
For security reasons, vehicles collecting or dropping off passengers at the designated area must be attended AT ALL TIMES. This area has been designated for the convenience of passengers for set down and pickup only.

Long-term parking is not available.

Unattended baggage
Baggage must never be left unattended in public areas. All such baggage will be treated as suspicious. All baggage should be clearly tagged with your contact details.

Security-related threats
Passengers and visitors are warned that all threats and comments made about carrying of weapons or explosives - whether intended as a joke or not - will be taken seriously and may result in the person involved being removed from the Passenger Terminal or being prosecuted.
