Extra information required for Brittany Ferries?

[TeamBandS]

Its Monday and we are traveling to France with Brittany Ferries on Thursday. Today we get an e-mail informing us that we have to provide additional information at least 24 hrs before we depart. They have all our names and address etc as provided with normal bookings but now they require passport numbers and expiry dates. They seem to state that if this is not provide 24 hours before departure you will be refused boarding.

Advance Passenger Information​

For travel to or from the UK, it’s now compulsory to provide Advance Passenger Information (API).This information is required by the UK government at least 24 hours prior to your date of departure.You’ll need to make sure that every passenger travelling has provided their API before checking in.Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Please ensure you have all of the following documents for all travelling passengers prior to arrival at port and you are ready to present them at check-in. Failure to provide fully completed documents will result in refused boarding.

I have provided this info and should be OK but I thought I should share this on the forum in case anyone has missed this requirement which I was unaware of as it was not required in May and I have not seen this new data requirement any where else.

I must admit that it’s not very obvious though. We’re off next week and happened on this by chance.
I know you have to do for flights as part of the checkin.

We had to do it when we travelled with BF in June. Can’t remember if we had to do it before that as that was pre Covid.

we travelled BF to Santander from Plymouth 3 May 2022 and had to complete the API - which we did some weeks before departure.

I must admit I forgot to do it once and they didn’t bother, but I’ve usually done it…

Some here. Flights, ferries, etc. have required advanced information for years.
