LPG cylinders are not allowed on any inter-island vessels.

Customers wishing to transport an LPG cylinder between points (e.g. Sea Lots compound ↔ Crown Point facility) must surrender the cylinder at Sea Lots and receive a receipt (indicating whether cylinder is full/empty or new/used). The customer then presents the receipt and their ID/Driver's Permit at Crown Point to collect the cylinder.

The same process applies for transport from Crown Point → Sea Lots.
