SeaLink Kangaroo Island

• SeaLink Kangaroo Island began in the 1970s when a Kangaroo Island businessman formed the company Philanderer Ferries. In 1989 the ferry operation was purchased by Malaysian company MBF and renamed Kangaroo Island SeaLink
• In 1996, a group of South Australian investors and staff members purchased SeaLink from MBF, returning it to South Australian ownership
• Since this purchase in 1996, two new ferries were specially built for the Kangaroo Island service, making the journey faster, more comfortable, more reliable and safer
• In peak periods SeaLink can operate up to 12 services a day, each way. Ferries travel across Backstairs Passage from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw in approximately 45 minutes
• SeaLink is also the major freight service provider between the Island and the mainland with freight ranging from livestock and grain to dangerous goods, including fuel and gas
