Fred Olsen Express celebrates the 30th anniversary of its route between La Palma and Tenerife, a key maritime connection, which since its launch in 1995, has been vital for the social and economic development of the Isla Bonita. In these three decades, the company has transported more than 5 million passengers, 1.5 million vehicles and more than 700,000 linear meters of cargo. In 2003, Fred Olsen took a decisive step by replacing conventional ferries with fast ferries, which meant a notable reduction in navigation time.
This connection has become an active part of the island’s cultural life. The route is the reference means of transport for the thousands of visitors who come to Los Indianos every year. In line with this service vocation, since July of this year, the company has reinforced its operations with the addition of a new logistics route exclusive for cargo, under the division of Fred Olsen Cargo Express. “Celebrating 30 years of service with La Palma is a pride and a renewed commitment. Our history with the Isla Bonita is a story of closeness, innovation and responsibility,” stated the fleet director of Fred Olsen Express, Juan Ignacio Liaño.
