Hoverport

A hoverport is a terminal for hovercraft, having passenger facilities where needed and infrastructure to allow the hovercraft to come on land.

Today, only a small number of civilian hoverports remain, due to the relatively high fuel consumption of hovercraft compared to traditional ferries.

Military/Paramilitary hoverports also exist however, for example in Haldia in India, from which the Indian Coast Guard operates three hovercraft.

The world's first purpose-built hoverport was the Ramsgate Hoverport which was a cross-channel port in Kent, England.
