The Perseverance Ferry resumes its operations.

The Ferry Perseverance, dedicated to maritime transport between Batabanó and the Isla de la Juventud, flew on March 29 in the morning of the Isla de la Juventud, on its usual route New Gerona-Batabanó. When it is ready for navigation, it will return to the transport of passengers and vehicles after 18 days of repair. A warning about the cost of your daily tray has been made to last for 7 weeks.

The accident occurred on the 7th day of February, when you attempted to unravel at the Port of Batabanó, you kept the boat at maximum capacity. To take the reverse maneuver, to return to a natural position that allows you to navigate at sea, the boat does not respond adequately to the tomadas, and the propeller (propeller) is propelled (removed from the boat), so you know. Propulsion power, the ball of the boat and its lock, and the fact that it is at risk, provokes the warning. 4 of the 5 aspas are damaged, back of ellas of considerable shape. In one part of the habit of walking, one may also have experienced an abnormal flexion. When only the propeller of the propeller breaks considerably, the blade also causes partial damage.

The Ferry logged on to the Isla de la Juventud, where there was a defect that determined that it would have to be repaired in La Habana, in the Dique Flotante de Casablanca (Caribbean Drydock Company - CDC). El 23 de febrero salió hacia el porto de La Habana, con solo una maquina/propeller en funcionamiento, la de babor. The trip lasted 40 hours and could last until 25 February. The 28th of February began the repair operation and the 7th of March began the repairs, led by a technical team from the CDC, where a soldier, an operator, a taller assistant and the repair technician, Rubén Casas Tamayo, had a job. It was supervised by the specialist of the Technical Directorate of the Cuban Business Company, Antonio Cabrera Lavin, the engineer in Naval Construction and enviado del Registro Cubano de Buques, Abilio González Acosta, as well as the captain of Ferry, Carlos Arroyo Salas.

Between days 9 and 20, the most careful repairs will be made, such as the reconstruction and repair of the propellers. On March 21, the balance and wheel loops will be adjusted, checking that all parameters are working correctly. On day 22, the boat was covered by the sea, the boat was dirty when navigating and it was tested at various speeds of power, which was tested satisfactorily. Officially this was the end of the repair on March 25.

The navigation permits, the approval of the repairs carried out and the fuel supply will finally deactivate between March 26 and March 28, permitting the official release of March 29, with its usual flows and roads.

The Ferry Ro-Pax Perseverance, capable of carrying 430 passengers and carrying around as vehicles, is a boat of great economic importance for the Island, due to the fact that it is the main boat for the transport of goods and population between the Gran Island of the Cuban archipelago and the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud.
