OPERATING REGION

VESSEL DESCRIPTION

The VOLCAN DE TAMASITE is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) ferry operating under the Spanish flag, named in keeping with the volcanic geography of the Canary Islands — Tamasite being a volcanic formation associated with Lanzarote. The vessel was constructed at the renowned Barreras Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, and delivered in 2003.

Operated by Naviera Armas, one of Spain's leading ferry operators with a strong presence in the Canary Islands, the vessel provides essential passenger and freight connectivity between the Canary Islands, serving both residents and commercial cargo operators. The Ro-Pax configuration allows for simultaneous transport of passengers, private vehicles, and commercial freight, making her a vital link in the island chain's supply and transport network.

The vessel meets all applicable SOLAS, MARPOL, and EU maritime safety regulations, and operates under the oversight of the Spanish Maritime Administration (Dirección General de la Marina Mercante).
