Marajó: Ferry service to connect the island to the mainland
The ferry service will connect the island of Marajó to the mainland, providing a crucial transportation link for residents and tourists.
The ferry service will operate between the cities of Belém and Camará, reducing travel time and costs for those traveling to and from the island.
The island of Marajó, located in the state of Pará, is the largest fluvial-maritime island in the world. The island is rich in biodiversity and is home to a variety of ecosystems, including mangroves, forests, and savannas. The island is also home to a number of indigenous communities.
Currently, the only way to reach Marajó is by boat or plane. The ferry service will provide a more convenient and affordable option for those traveling to and from the island.
The ferry service will be operated by the state-owned ferry company, Companhia de Navegação do Estado do Pará (CNEP). The ferry will have a capacity of 300 passengers and will be equipped with air conditioning, restrooms, and a snack bar.
The ferry service is expected to begin operating in 2023. The service will operate daily, with multiple departures throughout the day.
