Ponte Ferries has advised that by the end of September it will be “pausing operations for the winter.”

The company said in a statement on Wednesday that since the start of operations last May, Ponte Ferris carried more than 32,000 passengers and over 6,000 vehicles between the ports of Valletta and Augusta in Sicily, following the award of a maritime concession to operate on this route.

“In general, we received very good, positive, constructive feedback from those travelling with us,” the company said.

Over the past months, Ponte said that it “focused on providing a long awaited alternative travel to Sicily by offering attractive prices for families, holiday makers, and cargo operators alike.”

“We would like to wholeheartedly thank all those who used our services throughout the past months,” it said.

Ponte Ferries concluded by saying that, “we would also like to sincerely apologise to those travellers who had their travelling plans changed due to the isolated operational stop we had last week.”
