The Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana has said that Gozo Channel is committed to continuing improve its operations, including through the use of technology.
She explained that with this in mind it has launched a new mobile app in order for the company’s customers to have immediate access to scheduled trips, as well a warning facility for any possible schedule changes.
Dr Caruana explained that this application is part of other initiatives that the company is introducing to further improve the service and customer experience.
She also said that work is ongoing to eventually introduce an electronic ticketing system in order to improve the efficiency and convenience to the public
During the launch, the Minister announced that the MV Nikolaos will continue to operate with Gozo Channel until an international call has been issued for a new ship.
Dr Caruana said that the success brought about by the introduction of the fourth ship is one that can not be ignored during the summer months, with 1.9 million passengers crossing between the islands, as well as 500,000 vehicles on 8,386 trips.
This addition to the fleet, she said, has been appreciated and praised by Gozitan stakeholders including the Gozo Business Chamber, the Gozo Tourism Association, the Gozo University Group and the Association for Gozitan Employees in Malta.
She congratulated the Gozo Channel employees for their commitment throughout the year in offering the best possible service.
Gozo Channel Chairman Joe Cordina, told how this new mobile app will be of great use for the hundreds of passengers who cross daily between Malta and Gozo.
The new app is available for download from GooglePlay or AppStore.

The emissions of ferry ships chimney need to be strictly monitored and minimized. Smell of the emissions spreads into the air and disperses through & over the local neighbors nearby, which causes dizziness.
OMG what else are we going to complain about! The ferries have been there years before you bought your flat or house there. You should have bought a place in Zebbug or a high village where the wind blows away any emissions and you only get dizzy if you look down.
