Vieques Ferry

[1] The Vieques Ferry system runs services from and to Ceiba each day of the week for passengers, and from Mondays to Fridays for cargo-only travel.

[2] There is a similar ferry service from Ceiba to Culebra, an island located slightly northwest of Vieques.

On October 16, 2013, Ceiba mayor Angelo Cruz Ramos requested that the Fajardo-Vieques ferry service go from Ceiba to Vieques instead, alleging that it would only take 25 minutes to get from Ceiba to Vieques and vice versa by boat, cutting the travel time between Vieques and mainland Puerto Rico by more than one hour.

[4] On November 8, 2013, the American Civil Liberties Union made allegations that diabetic people were not being allowed to eat inside the ferries during the trips between Fajardo and Vieques.

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