"Baleària was founded to link Mallorca with Ibiza and Dénia; for more than two decades these islands have also been our home and we are proud to present this catamaran here, which is the finest example of our green and smart culture", emphasised Adolfo Utor, president of the shipping company. Utor emphasised the company's commitment to and involvement with the Balearic Islands: "We have put the latest technological innovations at the service of our passengers: From fast, eco-efficient and extremely comfortable sailing to digitalised services that make the crossing an innovative experience." Finally, he pointed out that the ELEANOR ROOSEVELT has considerably increased the number of high-speed seats available on the Dénia-Ibiza-Palma route.

The shipping company has invested 90 million euros in this fast ferry, which can carry 1,200 passengers and 450 cars, and has cafeterias, a children's area, a free digital entertainment platform, video surveillance of pets, the Internet, and other great features. It also boasts high-tech innovations to provide a comfortable crossing as well as bright, roomy spaces. The ELEANOR ROOSEVELT is the seventh Baleària ship to use natural gas, a fuel that reduces pollutant emissions, which are monitored by the measuring equipment and sensors installed on board, as part of a project co-financed by the European Commission's CEF fund.

The ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, a landmark in world maritime transport, was built at the Armon shipyard in Gijón, in collaboration with leading talent from both the international (Wärstilä, Incat Crowther, Bureau Veritas and Marintek-Sintef) and national (Cotenaval, Oliver Design and Jorge Belloch) spheres, and was financed by CaixaBank.
