Check the jetty name before you leave.

Teluk Gading now appears on some official references and maps. Many operators and travelers still use Tanjung Gemok. Check the map pin, ferry operator and departure time.

Why there are two names

This area has long been known as Tanjung Gemok. Teluk Gading appears more often on official references and signage, but traveler habits, ticket websites and Google searches change more slowly.

How to avoid the wrong jetty

Do not decide from one name alone. Compare the address, Google Maps pin, terminal name, ferry operator and departure time.

Search both Teluk Gading Jetty and Tanjung Gemok ferry terminal.
Make sure your ticket matches the operator.
Ask again if your driver or app uses the older name.

For Tioman travelers

This route can be useful for some trips from Pahang, the east coast and KL. If you are unsure, send your ticket screenshot to someone local before the travel day.

If your ticket says Tanjung Gemok or Teluk Gading, confirm the location pin and operator before you leave.
