Fred. Olsen Express; a revolution in sea links in the Canarias Isles
Since the founding of the company, Ferry Gomera, S.A., in 1974, Fred. Olsen has firmly stood by his resolve to develop maritime links in the Canary Isles Fred. Olsen's goal has always been to connect the seven islands of the archipelago via the shortest routes, at the same time offering maximum speed and comfort. This project was launched on 8 July 1974 when the first ferry set sail from San Sebastián de La Gomera to Los Cristianos. However, this historical event was just the beginning of Fred. Olsen's long-term commitment to the Canarian community.
Some years later, with the service between Tenerife and La Gomera running smoothly, a period of growth and development took place throughout the Canaries. In just 25 years, the company Fred. Olsen, S.A., has reached its goal to offer sea links to each and every one of the seven Canary Islands, maintaining its initial objectives clearly in sight: comfort and speed combined with quality service.
Today Fred. Olsen Express is a clear market leader, covering 5 sea routes for foot passengers, leisure vehicles and freight, carrying more than 2,700,000 foot passengers, 550,000 cars and more than 200,000 heavy goods vehicles each year.
Thanks to the incomparable service offered by Fred. Olsen Express and its fleet of spectacular, modern fast ferries, the Canary Isles have been brought closer together. Without a doubt, Fred. Olsen Express is your best choice for travel between the islands.
