Baleària has just invested close to 55 million euros in the acquisition of the vessel Visemar One, who has been sailing for the company for seven years. With this purchase, the fleet of boats owned by Baleària reaches the 26 units of a total of 30.
The ferry Visemar One was premiered by the company in the 2011 year on the Barcelona-Palma route, and currently operates between València and Palma. This ferry, of 186 meters in length, stands out for being a ropax with great capacity of rolling cargo, 2.860 linear meters, responding to the needs of the line that connects the peninsula and Mallorca for the transport of goods. In addition, the ship - built in 2010 - has capacity for 600 passengers and navigates at a speed of 24 knots.
Baleària currently has 30 vessels in its fleet, 26 of which are owned. The shipping company, which is immersed in a process of renewal of the fleet, is building two ferries powered by natural gas in the Italian shipyards Cantiere Navale Visentini. Likewise, Baleària also plans to remotelize to this cleaner energy five ferries of its current fleet, so that they can be propelled by this fuel and reduce polluting emissions. In addition, the company also studies two other projects.
