Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Banaderos-Express

On April 20, 2022, the 'Bañaderos Express,' en route from Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Agaete on Gran Canaria, reportedly collided with a whale. Passengers recounted that the impact happened on the starboard side, with visible signs of distress in the water, including blood and a portion of the whale's body. The unfortunate event took place only 20 minutes away from the vessels’ final destination, the port of Las Nieves. At least four passengers and a waiter bore witness to this dramatic incident. Following the collision, the ferry continued its journey at a reduced speed, with the public announcement system attributing this change to 'technical reasons.' Upon arrival at the port, technicians inspected the aft starboard engine, which was affected by the impact.
