ISCOMAR Ferry Re-opens Formentera Route

The Iscomar ferrys will reopen the marine line between Ibiza and Formentera, this year from June to mid October, with the express boat ` Pitiusa NovaŽ that was operating in 2005 between the 2nd of May and October in the same marine line.

The interruption, last year, of the shipping company Iscomar into the line between Ibiza and Formentera was not welcomed by competing companies, who registered their complaints to the Harbor Authority considering that they had granted discriminatory in favor of Iscomar, by not demanding the payment of harbor taxes.

The spokesman of Iscomar declared that this year they will apply the same policy with the
` Pitiusa NovaŽ, which can transport 36 cars and 302 passengers. The prices of this company are substantially less expensive than those of the rest of operators. Although the arrival of Iscomar was received with enthusiams by some politicians, in the interest of free market competition, later this opinion varied, due to them abandonment of this authorized line by the director of transports of the Govern Balear.

Now, Iscomar announces that it will take advantage of the high season to make this boat profitable, described as a high speed boat.
