An intense history

Eurolinies Maritimes started operations, under the brand Balearia, in July 1998 driven by a group of former executives, captains and officers of the shipping company Flebasa. Adolfo Utor Martinez was nominated president of the new company.

From the very beginning, Balearia drew up a plan of action for the expansion and modernization of the fleet, which included the immediate addition of new vessels. Balearia enjoyed the commitment of its personnel in its strive for quality, reflected today in high levels of security, service and customer care.

Leadership in the Balearic Islands

Initially, Balearia operated the Denia-Ibiza-Palma routes (ferry services), Ibiza-Formentera (ferry services and high-speed vessels), Ibiza-Palma (ferry services) and Denia-Ibiza (ferry and Ro-Ro services). Those routes were completed with the Valencia-Palma route (Ro-Ro cargo traffic) which was inaugurated in June 2000. The most recent route to be added was between Alcudia and Mahon, which Balearia has operated since July 2002. The inclusion - in June 2001- of Federico Garcia Lorca, a super fast high-speed ferry that operates the Denia-Ibiza-Palma route and also performs direct services Denia-Palma, has meant a complete change in communications both between and within the Balearic Islands.

Balearia still aims at expansion and growth, and is working on future projects such as the incorporation of new lines and the enlargement of its fleet. In October 2002, Balearia launched the super fast high-speed ferry Ramon Llull, built at the shipyard Rodriquez, which will be operational from June 2003.

Furthermore, at the beginning of year 2003 Balearia created the Nautas Al-Maghreb company, which start on april a new maritime route Tangier-Algeciras operated by a super fast ferry. Its features will enable it to do the crossing in less than one hour, and has required the addition of the super fast ferry Al-Sabini to Balearia’s fleet.

The quality, frequency, and competitiveness of the services of Balearia over the routes it manages have allowed this shipping company to position itself as a leader in the traffic within the islands - both in terms of passenger volume and sales- and as the absolute leader in the Balearic Islands by passenger volume.

Commitment to the islands

For Balearia it is fundamental to become a bridge between the Balearic Islands and the Iberian Peninsula. With the addition of the Alcudia-Mahon route, the services of this shipping company already cover the four islands with at least one daily connection. After the September 11th attack there was an important upheaval in the tourist industry, which for the Balearic Islands meant a decrease in the number of connections with the Iberian Peninsula. In those difficult times, Balearia maintained its commitment to the Balearic Islands by keeping all its routes within the islands and with the mainland, and continued with its projects of opening new routes and incorporating new vessels. In June 2003 the fast ferry Ramon Llul started operating. The length of this ferry is 83,35 metres, and it was built to be able to get into small ports. It operates the Barcelona-Majorca (Alcudia) – Minorca (Ciutadella and Mahon) routes
