Treat the two pins as different jobs
Tourism Johor lists Mersing Harbour Centre as a ferry and traveller hub, while Laman Samudera is a street art stop with marine-themed murals. Save the correct ferry operator's check-in location first. The tourism listing does not replace your ticket instructions, and the mural pin is not the boarding point.
Use a return-by time for the whole group
Check when the operator expects you back, whether check-in can be completed first and what happens with bags. Plan both directions before leaving. If the margin is unclear, if bags must stay with you or if weather makes the walk slower, keep the group by the confirmed port meeting point.
Make it a short art stop rather than a loop
At Laman Samudera, choose one or two visible marine motifs to look at together, then leave when the planned turn-back time arrives. Do not turn the stop into a full town circuit. If the group splits, share one time and exact public point for regrouping rather than relying on a call just before boarding.
Give the road operator the ferry first
For the road itinerary from Singapore, lead with the operator, check-in location and required timing. List the mural visit only as an optional separate stop if it is needed. Neither a vehicle arrival time nor this guide guarantees check-in or ferry boarding.
