We are really living with great illusion the recovery stage of this terrible pandemic, which has hit us all over the past year. And nothing better than to face the new times by developing our business plan, now that we expect the progressive recovery of the sector, with new opportunities. And that is why we are trying to continuously improve the current supply, with new additions to the fleet plan, said Rafael Cardona, General Director of Trasmapi.

This high-speed ship is added to the newly acquired HSC Fairweather, and HSC Chenega, which have already left this week from the port of Ketchikan in Alaska... thus increasing the fleet of the Spanish shipping company by three new fast ships.

The Spanish shipping company Trasmapi has been operating since 1974 in the Pitiusas, in the Balearic Islands. He is a leader in his segment, serving more than a million passengers annually on his main route between the ports of Ibiza and Formentera.
