Well, with all those Elves arriving from Middle Earth, they would certainly have enough ships.....

In the Sil. it is said that the Exiles dwelt in Tol Eressea "from whence they might come even to Valinor" (quote from memory), so I would suppose they can tool about in their ships as they saw fit, with one exception. The Straight Road is one way. In Letters, JRRT said that after the Straight Road was created a ship cannot pass from the West back to Middle Earth. The Istari, being Maiar, were able to come to Middle Earth but Elves cannot.
