Algarve News: Madeira ferry to continue after summer

Date: 2/10/2008

According to the company, the route's continuation is due to the "huge success" it has had since it was launched on June 13th, since when it has transported over 14,000 passengers.

Naviera Armas is now looking to "incorporate a new ferry" onto the route, one of two new vessels currently under construction.

The company also confirmed that as of May next year, "it is likely the crossing will be upped to twice a week", between the three ports, instead of being a weekly crossing, as it is at present.

Naviera Armas first started a Canary Island - Madeira crossing three years ago, this year tying the port of Portimão into its route.

Demand far surpassed expectations, and what started off as testing the waters has been confirmed as an ongoing service. Source: The Portugal News
