Shipping Companies break agreement
COZUMEL, 1 December.- seems to have come to an end the alliance between Cruise and Maritime shipping overseas, since the latter were annulled the pact to distribute schedules and prices for one- way trips.
This can be noted in the Fiscal Pier Cozumel because shipping companies overseas and Cruise Ships Caribbean are no longer respecting the alliance that maintained between them for some years, since years before the entry Boat Caribbean put agree to handle your taste rate of almost 163 pesos per single trip to Playa del Carmen federal route and similarly set to the convenience of both companies sailing schedules, insomuch suppress the first crossing of the 05 : 30 hours to the continental massif and eliminating at will the crossing of 23 hours from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel.
According to unofficial sources the breakdown of convenencieras relations of the two shipping companies that had endured solid for years denoted cracking since the arrival of boats Caribbean, a year ago, now seems to have culminated after the overseas company incorporated a week ago a new boat to the federal route and decided to resume the intersection of 0530 leaving Cozumel and adding crossing 23:00 from Playa del Carmen, since keep their departures every hour, not before sharing operations with Maritime Cruise leaving the island for afew hours without transportation to Playa del Carmen, now up tothree boats run on the same schedule.
Meanwhile Cruise Maritime adopted the modality to reduce their rates to almost 50 percent of what was driving, now a single trip costs 83 pesos, with local plan 60 pesos and 100 round trip, and 30 pesos children and it is oscillated at 163 pesos before the simple cross.
The overseas company manages its plan Quintana Roo a price of 70 pesos per single trip adult and 30 pesos per child; if tourists continue to pay 163 pesos adults and a child pays 97 pesos.
This means that if you could reduce costs for years but they did and both shippers kept the population as a kind of commercial hostage, since every year out with the argument that high fuel costs the "forced "to raise rates, but seeing boats Caribbean continues with its policy of low prices had to be adjusted.
