Shipyard Hijos de J Barreras, Spain, has recently delivered 'SF Alhucemas' to ferry owner, Balearia.
'SF Alhucemas' left the shipyard on January 22 and is now sailing Mediterranean routes between the ports of Ibiza, Denia and Barcelona.
'SF Alhucemas' is part of the new series of vessels that Balearia ordered from the shipyard. The first vessel, 'Martin i Soler' has been fully operational since last January while the 'Passio er Formentera' joined the fleet last northern summer.
'SF Alhucemas' measures 154.51 metres long on a 24.2-metre beam, and has a capacity of 1,000 crew and passengers.
Furthermore, the modular system of the hold allows up to 1,136 lineal metres for trailers and 633 lineal metres for cars.
Like other vessels in the series, the power consumption has been optimised. The vessel is powered by two MaK main motors (9,000kW each) that allow a service speed of 21.4 knots.
