By | 2018 Newsletter week 33 | No Comments

The new DSP (delegation of public services) has been voted on 27 July. After a period of analysing it has been decided to organise the DSP differently.

  • It will only last for two years.
  • Instead of supporting the transport of 360,000 pax per year, the number has been dramatically reduced to 91,000.
  • Freight gets more money: up to 1.7 million lane meters will get a subsidy, instead of 1.3 million.
  • New tariffs give better advantages to the islanders: -30% if the live on the island.
