Casualty

These delays were dealt with by the catamaran ferry "Volcán de Tirajana." The Armas Trasmediterránea Group sent a mobile message to its passengers informing them of the delay, although the estimated time did not match reality. In the case of El Hierro, where it was scheduled to depart at 5:30 p.m., it was reported that it would depart at 9:30 p.m. As the "Volcán de Tirajana" was in the port of San Sebastián de La Gomera at 8:00 p.m., there was no time for that to happen. In fact the "Volcán de Tirajana' arrived at the port of La Estaca on July 13 at 12:30 a.m., and set sail for Los Cristianos at 1:10 a.m., arriving 2,5 hours later.
