Private operator HMS Ferries announced a new annual passenger record in Puerto Rico’s maritime transit system, as the total number of users surpassed the record set in 2023, with 1.501 million passengers.
Through November, the ferry system successfully transported nearly 1,494,000 passengers across all of its routes, representing an increase of more than 8% compared to the same period last year. With continued growth in ridership on both the Metro (Cataño to Old San Juan) and islands (Vieques & Culebra) routes, the system has already surpassed 2023 totals, setting a new annual record just weeks before the end of the year.
Across the maritime transport system, HMS Ferries has maintained an average on-time performance of 97% across more than 20,000 sailings completed in 2024.
Service to the offshore island municipalities, which includes trips to Culebra and Vieques, saw an increase of more than 5% to date this year, carrying a combined total of 1.12 million passengers and nearly 104,000 vehicles. Trips to and from Culebra increased by more than 41,000 passengers from January to November of this year, while an additional 19,000 people traveled to and from Vieques in the same period.
The Metro service between San Juan and Cataño also maintained significant growth compared to previous years, transporting more than 376,000 passengers as of November. This represents an increase of almost 67,000 users compared to the same period last year.
“Our sustained record of ridership is a testament to the growth and continued improvement of the system under our partnership with the Government of Puerto Rico,” said Matthew Miller, president of HMS Ferries-Puerto Rico. “We look forward to closing out 2024 strong as we prepare to build on our success in the coming year.”
