Baleària incorporates Margarita Salas, new high-speed ferry with dual gas engines on the Barcelona-Mallorca-Menorca route

• Margarita Salas will operate daily throughout the year on the 3.5-hour crossing between the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands 

• The catamaran increases the seats available on the high-speed service by 50% while reducing the carbon footprint on the route thanks to being LNG- powered. 

• Baleària has invested 126 million euros in the construction of the vessel which can hold 1,200 passengers and 425 vehicles. 

• Leading international experts (Wärstilä, Incat Crowther, Bureau Veritas and Marintek-Sintef) and national partners (Cotenaval, Oliver Design and Jorge Belloch) were involved in the construction of this groundbreakingly sustainable catamaran, which received funding from CaixaBank and European Union Next Generation Funds, as part of the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM).
