The Trimaran Route Moves One Million Passengers in a Year

More than one million passengers and 16,000 pets have chosen Fred. Olsen Express's Trimaran Route, which connects Agaete and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in its first year, the company reports. One of the most valued aspects by passengers is its punctuality, with 97.10% of trips arriving on time or even earlier.

The Trimaran Route is served by the new generation trimarans “Bajamar Express” and “Bañaderos Express.” During these first 12 months, both vessels have made 4,790 trips and covered 172,242 nautical miles (319,418 km).

The vessels of the Trimaran Route have also transported a total of 381,600 vehicles and 462,700 cargo units in this first year.

As part of its quality policy, Fred. Olsen Express conducts satisfaction surveys among passengers, who have rated the Trimaran Route with an average of 9.01 out of 10 and a satisfaction level of ‘outstanding’ according to 77% of users.

On the occasion of the first anniversary celebration, Fred. Olsen Express is offering a special promotion, from October 26 to November 2, of up to 30% discount and the option to accumulate triple Plus points with the company's loyalty system on tickets purchased for travel between Gran Canaria – Tenerife.

Passengers who take advantage of this promotion will be able to enjoy the journey between the capital islands from November 15 to January 31, except during peak times.

The vessel “Bajamar Express” has been recognized as a significant ship of the year 2020 by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), one of the most important professional entities in the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of vessels and marine structures.

Meanwhile, the trimaran “Bañaderos Express” has received the Shippax Fast Ferry Award 2022 for its commitment to sustainability, being considered “an integral part of the green future of travel and an efficient alternative to maritime traffic.”
