In the words of Fred's fleet manager. Olsen Express, Juan Ignacio Liaño, "in January, thanks to the incorporation of a second ship for the route, the SICILIA ferry, we were able to serve all those customers who have given such a good reception to our connection with the Peninsula."

For his part, the general director of Baleària, Georges Bassoul, highlighted "the commitment to flexibility and connectivity, to strengthen the line and guarantee the supply and comfort of passengers on these dates of high demand."
