New ferry Mayaguez San Pedro by Balearia Caribbean
Balearia Caribbean is still working on its landing in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It wants to set up a new ferry route between Mayagüez (Puerto Rico) and San Pedro de Macorís (Dominican Republic) during the second half of 2024.
The local media in Puerto Rico have reported on several visits that Balearia’s executives have made to the Puerto Rican town of Mayagüez, where they met with the local authorities and the consul of the Dominican Republic to finalize the operational details.
Throughout 2023, Balearia’s employees have been constantly visiting Puerto Rico.
Since August 2023, they have held meetings with the providers of logistical services, movement and transportation of cargo, fuel suppliers and customs officials among others. They have also made the relevant visits to the local ports of both territories where they will have to carry out certain adaptation works to ensure the docking and undocking maneuvers, as well as to ensure the correct loading of the merchandise on the ferry.
The ship that will be used for this servive by ferry Mayaguez San Pedro is still not known for sure. Everything points to the fact that it will be the Jaume II ship, which currently connects the routes Fort Lauderdale Bimini and Fort Lauderdale Freeport in Florida, US, to assign another fast ferry to the routes that connect Florida and the Bahamas.
The expected date for the ferry Puerto Rico Dominican Republic of Balearia Caribbean to start its activity is, at this moment, September 2024.
