Motril and Melilla closer, more comfortable and less time with the new Ferry.

 
Naviera Armas announced that in late May they will change the ship 'Timanfaya Volcano', which operates the line since its inception last summer to the 'Volcano Tinamar', the best ship of its fleet with the 'Volcano Teide 'which is her twin.

Company sources have told Efe that with this change, the quality of the Motril to Melilla  will jump because the 'Volcano Tinamar' has only nine months of life compared with almost eight years of 'Timanfaya Volcano'.

In addition, the new ship has 50 percent more capacity than the vessel which currently covers this line, which has only 1,000 seats for passengers compared to the 1,500 passengers that 'Tinamar Volcano' can carry.  
It will also Triple the number of cabins, as 56 of the 'Timanfaya' will become the 137 of the new ship of the line
 It is also faster because it can sail at 26 knots compared to 23 of 'Timanfaya', which will shorten the duration of the voyage. 
 The 'Volcano Tinamar', which currently operates the line between the Canaries and Huelva and links by sea to other islands in the Canary Islands, has even escalators inside the vessel, as reported by the same sources.

From Monday it will be possible to buy tickets for travel on the different accommodations of this new ship, which will operate the line fromMotril to Melilla later next month.

Also new for this line is that passengers can book in advance their cabins and numbered seats, said the shipping company and that this news has denied the persistent rumors that have  pointed to a cancellation of the Motril -  Melilla line.

The company was keen to stress the commitment made by this route, which allowed the introduction of competition in the maritime transport of Melilla, as the 'Volcano Tinamar' is the best and the newest ship in its fleet and "is similar on a cruise ", with plenty of space and number of seats and relaxation rooms on two floors.
