Baleària‘s CAP DE BARBARIA, the first electric ferry in Spain, started sailing between Ibiza and Formentera.
With a capacity for 390 passengers and 14 trucks, it makes four daily departures in each direction.
The ferry was designed by Oliver Design and built by Astilleros Armón Vigo.
SUPERFAST I is the latest of the Attica Group’s fleet to undergo scrubber conversion.
The ship has been at Perama Repair Zone since 28 February with the conversion now well underway. She will subsequently be dry docked for scheduled annual repairs until 28 April.
The large ro-pax will be out of service until 1 May when she will return to her daily service on the Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari line.

From the beginning of summer 2023, Balearia will link Ibiza and Formentera with the first electric ferry in Spain with zero emissions during stays and approaches to port.
CAP DE BARBARIA will be launched September 28th at the Armón shipyard in Vigo and will have the athlete Andrea Romero, from Formentera, as godmother.
The new ferry will be able to transport 14 trucks and 350 passengers with a very tight energy consumption, without emitting polluting gases in port thanks to its electric propulsion.
