Bonanza Express © Andrew Cooke The Bonanza Express was Incat’s second 96 metre vessel being delivered in May 1999 to Fred. Olsen S.A. for service in the Canary Islands, the Spanish province 100 kilometres off the north-west coast of Africa. Serving the 35 nautical miles route between the ports of Santa Cruz in Tenerife and Agaete in Gran Canaria, the ferry slashed previous travel times between the two ports from two hours and 15 minutes to just one hour. The introduction of this vessel by the Fred. Olsen Company was a major step forward in maritime transport in the Canary Islands, being the first high speed ferry to operate in the entire archipelago. Discussions between Fred. Olsen and Incat had been going on for several years, but it was only with the introduction of the 96 metre class that the operator really sat up and took notice. With this design the customer was satisfied with the craft’s ability to carry high volumes of passengers and cars as well as heavy freight vehicles, offering the flexibility to meet seasonal and market fluctuations. A maximum deadweight of 775 tonnes underpinned the freight intake capacity while the provision of moveable mezzanine vehicle decks allowed the necessary lane where are they now The Bonanza Express Justin Merrigan HULL 051 metres required for maximum car loading, as well as the requisite headroom for commercial vehicles. As built, the vessel was designed to carry a total of 755 passengers and 235 cars or alternatively 105 cars and 25 heavy goods vehicles. On trials The Bonanza Express achieved speeds of 48 knots in lightship condition and 42.85 knots at 630 tonnes deadweight. Today The Bonanza Express offers a daily two hour service between the islands of El Hierro and Tenerife, as well as daily connections between Los Cristianos (Tenerife) and San Sebastián de La Gomera. 32 Incat THE Magazine Issue 36
