To give ferry passengers timely information on schedule interruptions and other travel information, the North Carolina Ferry System has developed the Ferry Information Notification System, or FINS, which allows travelers the ability to receive email or text notifications on specific ferry routes.
Find the route you would like to get notifications for below and then sign up with your email and/or phone number. You’ll then receive immediate notifications from the ferry system on delays or cancellations on your selected routes, as well as any other necessary travel information.
Please submit any feedback you have on FINS.
