These are the instructions for the MOANA Coach sign, to facilitate faster border control processing at Dover.
In advance of travel, schools should:
- print this label
- clearly add the first 7 letters of the school name and highlight if there is more than coach on this trip. For example, if there is more than one coach, schools should include the coach number after the school name - ACADEMY1, ACADEMY2.
- Each coach signage should match the title of the corresponding spreadsheet which has been sent to Irish Ferries to upload to MOANA.
- below the school name, schools should add the number of passengers per coach to the label. There will be a separate box on the label to add number of passengers. The number of passengers on each coach should correspond with the number of passengers on the corresponding spreadsheet for each coach.
On date of travel, schools should display a label in each coach windscreen which clearly shows the first 7 letters of the school name and the number of passengers per coach.
This windscreen label helps the French border authorities identify participating coaches when they arrive at Dover. If trip organisers have sent the advanced passenger information but do not have the windscreen label when arriving at Dover, coaches will not be able to use the faster process.
