The crossing will take 28 hours when the service is up and running, and the ferry being used ‘Volcan del Teide’, has been constructed for the purpose in the Naviera Armas shipyard in Vigo.
The 175m long vessel has a capacity of 1,200 passengers and 700 vehicles, and has a cruising speed of 25 knots.
125 million € has been invested in the route which will leave Palos every Saturday morning and arrive in Las Palmas at 4pm on Sunday. The cargo is expected to be mainly fish and fruit and vegetables.
Single ticket price is 90 € for a simple seat and 200 for a VIP cabin. Tickets go on sale via the internet in a few weeks, and a complementary bus will take passengers to the ship from the centre of Huelva, some 10kms away."
