Volcán de Taidía is a 111-metre high-speed wave-piercing catamaran ferry operated by Spanish shipping line Naviera Armas. Built in Australia by Incat and delivered in late 2021, she is the sister ship to Volcán de Tagoro. Designed specifically to deliver high-capacity passenger and freight transport at high speed, the vessel primarily operates inter-island routes across the Canary Islands, bridging Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Service The catamaran, the second of a series of two sister units commissioned on 15 December 2017 by Naviera Armas to the specialized shipyard Incat, was launched on 23 June 2021 in the Hobart shipyard with the name of Volcán de Taidía and delivered on 24 September to the Spanish company. Following this, on 29 September the catamaran sailed from Tasmania to Spain, where on 25 October it began service on the connections between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where it joined its sister ship Volcán de Tagoro.
