With an Investment of R$ 20.8 Million, the Government of São Paulo Delivered Three Refurbished Vessels to Strengthen the Coastal Crossings between Santos and Guarujá.

With an investment of R$ 20.8 million, the Government of São Paulo took another important step towards modernizing the waterway transport system on the São Paulo coast. Last Friday (2), three refurbished vessels — the ferry FB-18 and the boats LS-02 and LS-05 — were officially delivered and have already begun operating on the routes between Santos and Guarujá.

The action, coordinated by the Secretariat of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics (Semil), is part of a broad state program for improvements in the sector, which foresees the requalification of 23 vessels by 2025.

Refurbished Vessels Enter Operation and Increase Crossing Capacity

The delivery ceremony took place at the shipyard of the Coastal Crossings in Guarujá and marked another stage in the process of restructuring the waterway system in the region.

The restructuring is part of a broader state program that, in addition to the vessels, also includes the execution of ten infrastructure works at crossing terminals by the end of 2025.

The total investment reaches approximately R$ 200 million, distributed among renovations, modernizations, and physical works, with the aim of increasing the system’s efficiency and ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for users.

Since 2023, eight of the 17 vessels in the system have already undergone renovations. According to the government’s plan, all units will be modernized, reinforcing the commitment to the quality of public waterway transport.

Local Authorities Highlight Positive Impact on Users’ Daily Routines

During the ceremony, the acting mayor of Santos, Audrey Kleys, emphasized the importance of the investment for the population.

“Whether for work or leisure, the people of Santos always seek service efficiency. And the State Government has been working in this direction, with the delivery of three more refurbished vessels, offering greater efficiency to the crossings,” she highlighted.

The requalification of the vessels is seen as essential to ensure fluidity in daily commuting between the municipalities of Baixada Santista, especially during peak hours.

With increased safety and modern structure, the new vessels represent a significant improvement in the services provided to users.
