Naviera Armas was chosen by the Spanish Football Federation to transport the Football World Cup which Spain won last time out. To be precise, the Cup was carried yesterday on the Volcán de Tindaya at 9 a.m. on the Corralejo-Playa Blanca route, fostering a great sense of expectancy amongst the passengers of this popular maritime link.

Today, Thursday, 15 June Naviera Armas launched the first of two large ferries -Volcán del Teide- at the Hijos de J. Barreras shipyard in Vigo; this is the largest ferry ever built in Vigo’s shipyards, and will be followed by a second to be launched at the end of 2010. This ferry coming into service represents a quantitative and qualitative leap forward for communications by sea in the Canary Islands.
