Dongliu Line e-Service System Officially Launched, Balancing Epidemic Prevention and Worry-Free Travel

e-Service System Officially Launched, ID Digitization

[TB News Network] The Maritime and Port Bureau announced today (the 12th) that the Dongliu Line e-Service System has officially launched. Through just a few simple steps, information on ID documents can be converted into digital data, effectively ensuring that passenger information for tickets purchased through various channels can be correctly linked to the passenger manifest for the vessel sailed, providing the public with an advanced, safe and secure boarding experience.

Affected by the epidemic, people across the country have been postponing non-essential overseas travel one after another, and outlying island itineraries with a different charm from Taiwan proper have leaped to become the public's favored first choice. In particular, the Dongliu Line is the most popular outlying island tourist route in the country. Therefore, the Maritime and Port Bureau specially established the Dongliu Line e-Service System locally, providing a single platform. In addition to allowing independent travelers to complete data registration in advance and then quickly collect their tickets at the counter, for the more than 70% of passengers who book tickets through homestays, guest information and passenger tickets can also be pre-bound on the single platform. As long as they present their ID documents before boarding, a passenger manifest can be generated, balancing epidemic prevention needs and protecting the public's rights. It writes a more advanced, safe and secure page for the Dongliu Line boarding experience.

Verify Identity Before Boarding to Ensure Maximum Service Efficiency

The Maritime and Port Bureau stated that, in order to improve the maritime rescue mechanism and protect the public's insurance and other rights, it has spared no effort over the years in promoting the real-name boarding system. In the past, on the Dongliu Line, passengers mostly handwrote their names and ID numbers on their tickets, and shipping companies then kept them for preparing passenger manifests by taking photos or other means. Now, simply by using scanning equipment, data on commonly used ID documents can be quickly converted into digital information. Therefore, even if ordinary passengers have not booked tickets in advance, buying tickets on the spot at the counter is also quite quick and convenient. For independent travelers and group tourists who did not purchase tickets at the counter, the e-Service System has also designed a check-in function that can be used via mobile phone or on physical machines on site, effectively ensuring that passenger information for tickets purchased through various channels can all be correctly linked to the manifest for the vessel sailed.

The Maritime and Port Bureau calls on the public here: in order to achieve the highest service efficiency of the digital system, please be sure to remember to bring your ID card, health insurance card, residence permit or passport when boarding. It is convenient and requires no waiting. If you are an independent traveler who has already booked a homestay, or a group customer of a travel agency, the homestay, travel agency or the individual needs to fill in the passenger information online in advance, and then quickly collect the ticket or boarding voucher on site. In particular, it should be noted that residents who purchase tickets using a Liuqiu resident card still need to present their ID card or health insurance card when boarding; identity must indeed be verified before boarding.
