According to newspaper Jornal da Madeira a ferry between Funchal and the Algarve city of Portimão could start in June if the regional government validates the only proposal on the table following a public tender. The ferry would be operated by Grupo Sousa and would carry out 12 crossings per year between June and September, for the price of around €60 a return ticket.

Has any progress been made on a final start date for the new ferry. Last week the Port office and even the "ferry agent" could not confirm a sailing date but both said it could be the 2nd July. There are many people like myself waiting for this new service which i'm sure would help both economies. Waiting for information is very frustrating, maybe with your jounalists being on the ball you could even break the story.
Thanks.
