The shipping company Baleària has deployed the high-speed vessel Mercedes Pinto to the Canary Islands to optimize maritime connections between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Morro Jable, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The arrival of this ferry is part of the expansion and modernization plan for the Baleària Canarias fleet. The main goal is to provide a more efficient, technologically advanced service tailored to the mobility needs of residents, tourists, and logistics companies operating across the archipelago.
The vessel, which arrived in the islands this Wednesday, is scheduled to conduct docking tests at various ports in the coming days. According to the company, this initiative aims to enhance operational reliability and the overall passenger experience on inter-island routes.

"This addition reinforces the company's commitment to quality maritime connectivity in the Canary Islands, where sea transport plays an essential role in territorial cohesion, inter-island mobility, and economic activity."
