context_page_description: Volcán de Tagoro is a catamaran fast ferry operated by the Spanish shipping company Naviera Armas between the Canary Islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship's construction was completed in July 2019 and it commenced operations a month later, joining the two Canarian capitals, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in just over an hour and a half. The short journey time not only gives Armas a competitive edge in sea transport between the two islands, but also allows it to compete with flights.
context_section_description: The Volcán de Tagoro was built in Hobart, Australia by Incat. The vessel is 111 metres (364 ft) long, 30.5 metres (100 ft) wide, and has a draught of 4.16 metres (13.6 ft). It has a service speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph), although it can reach speeds of 42.4 knots (78.5 km/h; 48.8 mph).
  The vessel is powered by four MAN Energy Solutions 20V28/33D diesel engines, each capable of providing 9100 kW of power. The diesel engines drive four Wärtsilä LJX 1500 waterjet propellers. The electrical energy is generated by four Scania DI13 generator sets.
  The ship can transport up to 1184 passengers on the third deck in first class, business class and economy class lounges. The third deck also houses bars and food service areas, a gift shop and toilets. The first and second decks are used for vehicle transport and have a total capacity for 219 cars and 595 metres (1,952 ft) of truck lane; the latter can be used as additional car spaces, allowing for a total of 401 cars. The second deck also houses crew accommodation.
