History edit

On January 1, 2000, the Puerto Rican Government passed ownership of all legal passenger ship services to the Puerto Rico Maritime Transport Authority. This was made mostly to enhance service between Culebra, Fajardo and Vieques.

On September 19, 2023, it was announced that the Puerto Rican government had signed contracts worth $70,000,000 dollars with the Conrad Shipyards company to build new ships for the services to Culebra and to Vieques.[1]
