Oliver Design upgrades Trasmediterránea ferry in record time
Oliver Design has upgraded Trasmediterránea’s 219-passenger ro-ro ferry Ciudad de Ibiza in just 20 days. The team spent 10 days working onboard the vessel during her crossing from Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean to Algeciras in Spain, before completing the rest of the refit at the Gibdock Shipyard in Gibraltar. During the project, Oliver Design refitted the ferry’s self-service restaurant, upgraded its bar, renovated a 95-passenger lounge, updated 29 interior and exterior guest cabins and the adjoining corridor, and refurbished the reception area, stairs, public toilets and the crew lounge. http://www.cruiseandferry.net/articles/oliver-design-upgrades-trasmediterr225nea-ferry-in-record-time#.WXBxnEdt69I

Super Fast Galicia's contract terminated
The "Super Fast Galicia"’s last day of sailing between Trinidad and Tobago will take place on April 14, 2017, before it is returned to its owner, Trasmed. Trasmed has already included the "Super Fast Galicia" in its schedule from as early as next month. She will be operating in Spain from May 22. The vessel operated on a month-to-month lease arrangement since May 2014. The lease of the "Super Fast Galicia" was said to be $10 million less than the cost of the then leased cargo shipping vessel the "TT Warrior Spirit". The annual lease for the "TT Warrior Spirit" was $58 million. At that time she suffered severe mechanical setbacks and was operating on one of four engines. In August 2016 the lease on the Warrior Spirit expired and was not renewed. Since then, the "Super Fast Galicia" has been this country’s lone designated inter-island cargo vessel. The "Super Fast Galicia" will be upgraded before entering service with Trasmed. The vessel’s passenger capacity is expected to be increased to 300 and she will operate between Valencia and Ibiza.
