_Salvador-Morro de São Paulo Crossing operates with connection. Tourist schooners also do not operate_

The Salvador-Mar Grande Crossing remains suspended this Wednesday (8)). Navigation conditions in the Baía de Todos-os-Santos remain adverse, with rough seas and strong winds, which prevent safe traffic for the fleet’s vessels. Since 10 am last Sunday, the 5th, it has not been operating.

The tourist schooners that serve the tour around the islands of Baía de Todos-os-Santos will also not operate this Wednesday. The Association of Maritime Transporters of Bahia (Astramab) informs that there is still no forecast for the resumption of operations.

The Salvador-Morro de São Paulo Crossing, in turn, operates with the semi-terrestrial system, which has been happening since last Monday (6). Passengers are transported to Itaparica Island, from where they travel by operator bus to Ponta do Curral, in Valença, and make the short crossing in fast boats to Morro. The trip lasts 3h20 (one hour more than the direct trip, by catamaran). Times leaving Salvador: 9am, 10:30am and 2:30pm. From Morro de São Paulo, 11:30 am, 1 pm and 3 pm.
