Private operator HMS Ferries announced a new annual passenger record in Puerto Rico’s maritime transit system, as the total number of users surpassed the record set in 2023, with 1.501 million passengers.
Through November, the ferry system successfully transported nearly 1,494,000 passengers across all of its routes, representing an increase of more than 8% compared to the same period last year. With continued growth in ridership on both the Metro (Cataño to Old San Juan) and islands (Vieques & Culebra) routes, the system has already surpassed 2023 totals, setting a new annual record just weeks before the end of the year.
Across the maritime transport system, HMS Ferries has maintained an average on-time performance of 97% across more than 20,000 sailings completed in 2024.
Service to the offshore island municipalities, which includes trips to Culebra and Vieques, saw an increase of more than 5% to date this year, carrying a combined total of 1.12 million passengers and nearly 104,000 vehicles. Trips to and from Culebra increased by more than 41,000 passengers from January to November of this year, while an additional 19,000 people traveled to and from Vieques in the same period.
The Metro service between San Juan and Cataño also maintained significant growth compared to previous years, transporting more than 376,000 passengers as of November. This represents an increase of almost 67,000 users compared to the same period last year.
“Our sustained record of ridership is a testament to the growth and continued improvement of the system under our partnership with the Government of Puerto Rico,” said Matthew Miller, president of HMS Ferries-Puerto Rico. “We look forward to closing out 2024 strong as we prepare to build on our success in the coming year.”
Recently, I watched a historical film where the action took place in Athens. I was struck by the atmosphere, the images of the characters, and the philosophical dialogues. After the film, I immediately asked myself: when was ancient greece? I wanted to understand how reliably that time was shown. I found a detailed article on the website, and it put everything in its place. Ancient Greece is not one century, but an entire era, spanning from the archaic period to the Hellenistic. The article covers the war with Persia, the rise of democracy in Athens, and the reign of Alexander the Great. Everything is presented in an accessible way and with interesting details. Now I understand why Greece became the…
One of the most exciting vacations in my life began with the website https://nauyachts.com/. I had long wanted to feel like a real sailor, and finally decided to do it. I rented a yacht for a week with friends in Mallorca. Everything went perfectly: online booking, quick feedback, help with the route. The yacht had everything - from comfortable cabins to a music system. We are not tied to hotels, every night we spent the night in a new place, cooked our own food, caught fish. It was absolute freedom. Yachting is so addictive that I can’t imagine any other form of recreation.
