There will be additional food and beverage section, a kid's outdoor play area, and additional lounges. The terminal's restrooms will be renovated, and ferry operators will get new counters for check in and tickets . To increase the terminal's efficiency, hybrid cooling systems will be added to the existing solar panels. These improved spaces and automation will increase the terminal's capacity by 20%, enabling TMFT to accommodate over three million passengers.
