Ultramar Ferry suspended for exceeding capacity

[ReefHound]

Just now seen a post on Facebook - the Feds asked the two companies to work together on the same days - Winjet agreed and Ultramar said no.....

If I was the Feds - I'd tell Ultramar to take their boats elsewhere or sell them to Winjet and not let them work at all, suspend their permits until they agreed to do it....

ULTRAMAR REJECT DAILY RUNS
#Cozumel. - The #Overseas ship refused to sign an agreement with the Federal Commission for Protection from Health Risks (Cofepris), to work every day together with the company #Winjet and thus to avoid agglomerations at the Cozumel and Beach docks Carmen.
Javier Toledo, coordinator of #COFEPRIS in the central area of Quintana Roo, regretted this decision and clarified that the Winjet company was willing to establish this agreement.

Sounds like a good opportunity for Winjet to increase market share. They can have all the business on odd days and half the business on even days. My bet is Ultramar would have no choice but to respond by sailing on Winjet's days, too.

Official or Unofficial its been a duopoly for many years, it's not going to happen. I suspect with the demise of the owner Ultramar the current crop of thieves running it have no idea what to do if the gravy train is compromised. There are also the officials whose hands are not going to return to their pockets.

We did have a good company in the ferry business for awhile. We used them exclusively. They went out with a bang.

Not sure what your question is.

If not a boat load in line, why did you not make it on?

Capacity limits?

While the Borge's were corrupt and reprehensible, I also enjoyed Barco's Caribe. Its the only time I have ever seen Winjet and Ultramar compete on service or price.

We were, I'd guess, at a good strong 60% of capacity.

If not a boat load in line, why not?

Yes.

Corrupt? In Mexico?

Is there reason other than collusion why Winjet couldn't just start running every day irrespective of what Ultramar does?

That'd be cool if they just posted next weeks ferry schedule on Facebook and it was everyday and not just odd or even days.
