Not sure which route this ship was on.

From Radio Sintonia:

The delegate of the Government of the Canary Islands , Anselmo Pestana, has confirmed that Fred Olsen's Bentago Express ferry has been relocated to the port of Agaete Gran Canaria, after it ran aground last Tuesday .
Pestana stressed that the success of the rescue operation, which has not had to mourn any human loss, has been due to coordination between the different administrations and the state of the sea.
For now, the ferry will undergo a series of necessary repairs for its subsequent transfer to the port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where it will be repaired.

From Noticias Fuerteventura: 

The company will stop operating between both islands between November 3 and 10 by technical inspection

As of Wednesday, November 3, Fred. Olsen Express will temporarily suspend its high-speed service between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, to carry out the periodic technical inspection of the vessel that covers it, in accordance with the maintenance plan agreed with the Maritime Administration.

The Bocayna Express catamaran will move to the ASTICAN shipyard, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, to undergo various maintenance work and routine improvements, as part of the mandatory technical inspection that the company carries out every two years on the ship to guarantee the standards of safety, service and comfort that characterize its service.

This temporary stop of the service will last eight days, from November 3 to 10, both inclusive. The company will restore the service normally from November 11, operating at its usual times.

Fred. Olsen Express has been operating since September 15 in the new berthing area of the Port of Playa Blanca, which has allowed the company to increase the number of daily trips. The line that connects Fuerteventura and Lanzarote offers daily up to eight trips from each port, connecting Corralejo (Fuerteventura) and Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) in a journey of 25 minutes, which is done on board the fast ferry Bocayna Express, with capacity for 436 passengers and 69 cars.

Fred Olsen adds the Buganvilla Express to the line between Corralejo and Playa Blanca.

A new boat comes to increase the number of frequencies that Fred Olsen has between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, it is the newly renamed Buganvilla Express, a boat recently purchased for the route that currently makes the Benchi Express, which will go on to make the Gomera route. In this way the Bocaina Express would remain for vehicle and passenger traffic and the Buganvilla express only for passengers.

 

It is a passenger boat, which does not transport vehicles and tries to give an alternative service to those travelers who go without a car to any of these islands, a service that makes direct competition to the Romero family boat in that same line and with that segment.

 

As puentedemando.com had already anticipated, Dofi Jet Boats has sold the catamaran "Dofi Jet Quatre" to Fred. Olsen Express, which will be renamed "Buganvilla Express". These days the painting works are carried out with the corporate image of the Spanish-Norwegian shipping company in the port of Arenys de Mar and its incorporation will replace the catamaran "Benchi Express", which will cover the interior line of Gomera.

 
Built in the Dalmau shipyard – where the catamaran "Benchi Express" took shape – it is a 29 m long and 9 m long fiber hull vessel, powered by two MAN engines and with capacity for 251 passengers.
