Cruise terminals
Handle the surge.
Store the fleet.
When 4,000 passengers embark in a 3-hour window, your ground transport is either ready or it's a bottleneck. FlexTram moves up to 27 passengers per trip with one driver — then stores compactly when ships are at sea.
The problem
What embarkation day
is really costing you
The solution
Surge capacity that stores
when ships are at sea.
FlexTram is a high-capacity cruise port shuttle designed for the unique rhythm of terminal operations. During embarkation, a single tram moves up to 27 passengers per trip between parking, luggage staging, and the gangway — with one driver.
Where you needed 8 shuttle vans and 8 drivers to handle a 4,000-passenger embarkation, four FlexTrams and four drivers handle the same surge. When the ship sails? FlexTram stores compactly — no dedicated lot, no idle fleet burning insurance and maintenance costs.
FlexTram is ADA accessible as standard — critical for cruise demographics — and compact. Scale your fleet to your sailing schedule, not your worst-case scenario.

Common questions
Can FlexTram handle cruise ship embarkation surges?
Yes. FlexTram is built for surge operations. With up to 27 passengers per trip and rapid turnaround on a fixed loop, 3-4 FlexTrams can handle the embarkation throughput that previously required 10+ shuttle vans.
What happens to the FlexTram fleet when ships are at sea?
FlexTram stores compactly without dedicated infrastructure. When ships are at sea, your fleet isn't burning maintenance and insurance costs in a parking lot — it's stored until the next sailing.
Can FlexTram operate inside covered cruise terminals?
Yes. FlexTram is compact and agile with — safe for indoor terminal use, covered parking structures, and enclosed dockside areas where diesel or gas vehicles can't operate.
Is FlexTram ADA accessible for cruise passengers?
ADA accessibility is standard on every FlexTram — critical for cruise demographics. Accessible boarding and appropriate aisle widths are included, with no special configuration needed.
Can we scale our FlexTram fleet to our sailing schedule?
Absolutely. Add trams for peak sailing season, reduce for the off-season. FlexTram's rental and lease options let you match your fleet to your actual schedule — no year-round commitment.
