BRENAS CARGO, ex AKRANES

Fred. Olsen bolsters its freight transport service with the addition of a new cargo vessel for La Palma

Ro-roFred. Olsen Cargo Express began its logistics service venture in 2024, acquiring two ro-ro vessels dedicated to freight transport. After nearly a year of operations, the company has announced the addition of a third vessel this summer, which will connect La Palma with the islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote.

The new vessel, named BREÑAS CARGO, previously operated under the name AKRANES with Smyril Line. It will be dedicated to freight transport, primarily ro-ro cargo, offering a regular service with three weekly rotations and optimised schedules for supplies and the transport of products from the Isla Bonita. It will also facilitate connections to mainland Spain via the route operated by Fred. Olsen in partnership with Baleària between the capital islands and Huelva.
