History of Fred. Olsen Express Fred. Olsen Express was founded in 1974 as Ferry Gomera, S.A. The First sailing took place 8 July 1974, when a ferry set sail from the Gomeran Capital of San Sebastian de La Gomera for the town of Los Cristianos in Tenerife. The first ferry to operate the route was christened the Benchijigua, which is named after a small village located in the South of La Gomera. It also was in keeping with a long tradition of Fred. olsen which was that all name of the company's ships should begin with the letter B. 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (the link is to a full 1974 calendar). ...

Until this first sailing the island of La Gomera had practically been isolated and was only ever visited by a single boat which came to collect bannanas and tomatoes that the island produced to be exported to Europe and in return dropped of supplies for the Island. It was the opening of this first route by Fred Olsen that really brought about changes for the Gomerans. The ferry even set sail for emergencies, sometimes with only a single ambulance and patient on-board, and for the simple reason that if the ferry did not take the patient the patient would have died.

Bannanas are tasty treats but can also be considered a slang word. ...

The route between Gomera and Tenerife initially operated 3 times a day in each direction and took 80 minutes, (the current crossing time is now half this) and was capable of handling 400 passengers and around 60 cars. Within six months of the route opening 100,000 people had used the crossing and this was a figure which far exceeded expectations. As a gesture of goodwill a free coach was provided from Los Cristianos in the South of Tenerife to the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Five years after the launch of the service a new larger and faster ferry was added; The Bonanza. The ship had previously been served with the company in Northern Europe, but was transferred to the Gomra route. Then again in 1989 still trading as Ferry Gomera the company introduced a route from Los Cristianos to San Sebastian de la Gomera using a ferry named the "SES Sant’ Agata" (later the Gomera Express) which was promoted as "fast and comfortable". The crossing took only 35 minutes. Also in 1989 a route was established between Playa Blanca, Lanzarote and Corralejo, Fuerteventura which was operated by Ferry Betancuria.
