The '''Imaguan Maritime Service''' ({{wp|Italian langauge|Etrurian}}: ''Servizio marittimo imaguano'') is a state-run {{wp|ferry operator}} providing ferry services between the [[Imagua and the Assimas|Imaguan]] islands of [[Avitabile Island]], [[Dunhelm Island]], the island of [[Imagua (island)|Imagua]], and [[San Sigfrido Island]].


Established in 1953, it was intended to unite [[Imagua and the Assimas]] by providing regular ferry transportation at "an affordable price," so to ensure that all Imaguans could freely travel between the islands.

==History==
*[[Democratic Initiative]] - TBD
After the end of the [[Solarian War]] in 1946, the [[Imagua|Province of Imagua]] annexed the [[Assimas Islands]]. This led to discussion around the possibility of a state-run {{wp|ferry}} across the [[Pilastri Straits]] to connect the newly-acquired territory, especially as government officials advocated for a government-owned ferry to connect the Assimas to the [[Imagua (island)|island of Imagua]].
*[[Respect Your Elders]] - Respect Your Elders
 
*[[Progressive Front]] - Rwizikuran National Movement
However, at the time, it was met with opposition from the [[Sotirian Democratic Party (Imagua)|Sotirian Democratic]] government led by [[Frederick Maynard]], as he believed that it should be a private service, and that by establishing a state-run ferry, it would "drive out all private competition out of business," which would harm the Imaguan economy. By 1947, ferries started to operate between the islands, but prices were steep, with a price for a one-way crossing between [[Cuanstad]] and [[San Pietro, Imagua and the Assimas|San Pietro]] around 4[[Arucian shilling|ſ]]31 in 1949, or about 1,317ſ91, or [[Euclo|€]]174.63 as of 2018.
*[[Liberal Alliance]] - Liberal Party
 
Outcry at the high prices meant that when [[Sotty Haloranov]] of the [[Democratic Labour Party of Imagua|Democratic Labour Party]] was elected in 1952, one of his pledges was to establish a state-run ferry service in order to lower ferry prices and to unite Imagua and the Assimas. Haloranov specifically requested that fares be set to 25d for a single crossing on any route (about 60ſ54 in 2018, or €8.02), regardless of distance, so that "any Imaguan can, without fear of cost, travel from one island to another."
 
In 1953, the ''[[Maritime Transportation Act of 1953]]'' was passed, which established the Imaguan Maritime Service as an agency of the [[Ministry of Transportation (Imagua)|Ministry of Transportation]]. Under the direct control of the Ministry of Transportation, the government would purchase ships from (TBA) and (TBD) to create a fleet that would provide for "a minimum of three crossings per day" on each of the routes, and by 1954, the Imaguan Maritime Services commenced operations. Despite proposals by Sotirian Democratic Prime Minister [[Martin Ellingham]] to abolish the Imaguan Maritime Service in the late 1950s, the Imaguan Maritime Service would remain an agency of the Ministry of Transportation until 1981. By 1980, the Imaguan Maritime Service would reach its peak, with nine routes serving twelve stops.
 
In 1981, as part of [[Pietro Muro]]'s austerity budget, it became a {{wp|state-owned enterprise}}, with the Imaguan Maritime Service restructured so to be run more like a corporation. As well, the number of routes operated by the Imaguan Maritime Service were substantially reduced to four routes, with all routes to [[Guardia Island]] (in particular, the village of [[Oniri, Imagua and the Assimas|Oniri]]) cut, as well as all "intra-Imaguan routes" (i.e. routes only serving the island of Imagua). Furthermore, some stops, such as [[Dunhelm Lookout]] on the Nua Taois-Lapprodo route, were cut entirely.
 
In the late 1990s, the Imaguan Maritime Service began to modernise its fleet, with an order of five ninety-eight metre {{wp|catamarans}} produced by {{wp|Incat|TBD}} in order to replace the "assorted collection of ships" that the Imaguan Maritime Service had since its inception. The new ships were to all have {{wp|Roll-on/roll-off|ropax}} capabilities, as although most ships in the fleet had space for vehicles, some were passenger-only, which impeded the ability for people to take their cars from island to island. The first catamaran arrived in 2002, and by 2006, with the introduction of the last catamaran, the Imaguan Maritime Service's fleet was declared to be fully modernised.
 
==Routes==
===Current routes===
Since 1 April, 1981, there are only four routes operated by the Imaguan Maritime Service.
 
*[[Cuanstad]]-[[San Pietro, Imagua and the Assimas|San Pietro]]
*[[Rutigliano]]-San Pietro
*[[Lapprodo]]-[[Nua Taois]]
*Nua Taois-San Pietro
 
Most routes are only operated three times a day in both directions between 5 am and 2 am, although the Cuantad-San Pietro route operates four times a day in the direction of Cuanstad, and the Rutigliano-San Pietro route operates four times a day in both directions.
 
===Former routes===
Until 1981, Imaguan Maritime Services operated nine routes, including the three current routes. They were:
 
*[[Cuanstad]]-[[Lundholm, Imagua and the Assimas|Lundholm]]-[[Bellmare]]-[[Saint-André]]-[[Saint Fiacre's Town]]-[[Nua Taois]]
*Nua Taois-[[Knowleston, Imagua and the Assimas|Knowleston]]-[[Bronstad]]-Cuanstad
*Knowleston-[[San Pietro, Imagua and the Assimas|San Pietro]]
*[[Oniri, Imagua and the Assimas|Oniri]]-San Pietro
*[[Rutigliano]]-Oniri
 
==Fleet==
[[File:CAT_Ferry_2008_9.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Interior of a ferry]]
 
The current fleet of the Imaguan Maritime Service comprises of five ships, with four assigned to serve on each of the four routes, and one to serve as a backup or as a relief vessel.
 
Since 2006, all Imaguan Maritime Service ferries are ninety-eight metre {{wp|catamarans}} produced by {{wp|Incat|TBD}}, each with {{wp|Roll-on/roll-off|ropax}} capabilities, as the catamarans offer space for up to 760 passengers and 200 vehicles. Each catamaran has a top speed of 40 {{wp|knot (unit)|knots}} (74 km/h), which vastly improved travel times between the islands.
