A massive boost in the carrying capacity for Bluebridge ferries, with the purchase of what will be the largest inter-island ferry.

The Santa Feronia will replace the Santa Regina, which is being retired after 14 years in July.

At 186 metres long, the new ship can carry more than 530 passengers, compared to 370 on the Santa Regina.

It also has increased freight capacity.
