We are the leading shipping line for passenger and freight transport on Balearic Islands crossings, while also linking Ceuta, Melilla and the Canaries to the Spanish mainland. At the international level we provide services in Morocco, Algeria and the Caribbean (between the United States and the Bahamas).
We are global pioneers in the use of natural gas: in 2019 Baleària was the first shipping line to use this clean source of energy on the Mediterranean and in the Canaries. We will have a gas-powered fleet numbering 9 by 2021, including newly built ships and engine replacements, an investment of 380 million euros. Our company is committed to placing technology at the service of customers on board our smart ships, as well as the use of big data to improve efficiency.
At Baleària we define our company as a responsible corporate citizen, having signed up to the UN 2030 Agenda as the guide setting the course for our operations in the fields of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
In 2019, we carried over 4,480,000 passengers, and a length of 6,110,000 metres of cargo. Our fleet of 32 ships, meanwhile, sailed more than 1.6 million nautical miles. Our company employs over 1,800 people, with a turnover of 452 million euros.
