The JPP party is holding a conference on September 9th in Funchal, dedicated to the theme 'Ferry and Territorial Continuity'. The initiative will focus on analyzing an economic-financial study concerning a regular ferry service between Madeira and the mainland.
Élvio Sousa of JPP believes the study shows Madeirans' desire to re-establish this maritime link but points out weaknesses, such as the emphasis on freight transport and a limit of 40 cargo units per trip.
The JPP reaffirmed its political commitment to restoring the regular maritime connection, with Élvio Sousa stating the party will implement a year-round ferry service once in government.
