On 22 July 2025, Fred. Olsen Express celebrated one year of BUGANVILLA EXPRESS operating between Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) and Corralejo (Fuerteventura). Since its launch, the 250-passenger miniferry has completed 2,300 trips, carrying over 103,000 people. More than 63%—around 65,500 passengers—used the service for same-day return travel. The vessel, built by Rodman Polyships, supports the company’s strategy of offering high-frequency, passenger-only connections alongside the vehicle-carrying BOCAINA EXPRESS.
Fred. Olsen’s newly acquired BUGANVILLA EXPRESS is now running between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
She was built in 2004 and ran on the Costa Brava as the DOFI JET CUATRE.
