The route between Huelva and the Canary Islands that operate Baleària and Fred. Olsen Express is already a reality

Last Friday, 9 in November, sailed the first ship that joins the peninsula and the Canary Islands operated by Baleària and Fred. Olsen Express.

President of Baleària, Adolfo Utor, and the CEO of Fred. Olsen SA, Andrés Marín, presided over the opening ceremony of the route, accompanied by José Luis Ramos, president of the Port Authority of Huelva. The event was attended by Ignacio Caraballo, president of the Diputación de Huelva, Manuela Parralo, sub-delegate of the Government in Huelva, and Gabriel Cruz, mayor of Huelva, as well as a large institutional representation of the area, as well as travel agencies and cargo customers.

As announced last October, the route has a triangular configuration between the ports of Huelva, La Luz in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The departures from the Peninsula are on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 20: 00h, while from the Canary Islands they are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, at 12: 00 from Gran Canaria and at 20: 00 from Tenerife. These schedules guarantee connections with the rest of the inter-island traffic lines, providing an integral service to customers.

Two vessels have been deployed to the route, Martín i Soler, which allows transportation of passengers, vehicles and cargo, and Clipper Pennant, exclusive for cargo transport, which began operating this Sunday 11 day. Both ships will alternate in the exits of the route, so that every two weeks there will be three exits of single load and other three exits of passengers and load.

The sale of tickets has been available for several weeks, through the usual channels of both companies: offices, websites, call centers and associated travel agencies.
