“Expanding ferry service helps us leverage the Port of Boston as a transportation asset while enhancing connections across the MBTA system and improving access to jobs, housing and Logan Airport,” said Governor Maura Healey.

The transit agency announced that the MBTA will launch a new ferry service in June specifically targeting commuters that will connect four parts of Boston throughout the year.

The new ferry route, called the F10 “Harbor Loop,” will set sail June 29 and will offer weekday service from Lovejoy Wharf (North Terminal), Central Wharf (Aquarium), Seaport (Commonwealth Pier) and Logan Airport, the T announced in a press release.

“Expanding ferry service helps us leverage the Port of Boston as a transportation asset while enhancing connections across the MBTA system and improving access to jobs, housing and Logan Airport,” Governor Maura Healey said in the statement.

The Harbor Loop will run approximately every 30 minutes during peak hours, the MBTA said.

The morning service will run counter-clockwise from 6:10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and the evening service will run clockwise from 3:55 p.m. to 7:50 p.m., the T said.

The agency said that there will be no service from 11:30 a.m. to 3:55 p.m., and the service will end at 7:50 p.m.

A one-way ticket will cost full-fare passengers $2.40 and reduced-fare passengers $1.10. Users can pay using tap to pay, cash, credit card on board or the mTicket app, T said. Riders can also use the rail lanes from Zone 1A through Zone 10, the MBTA said.

CharlieCards cannot be used on the new service, which applies to all MBTA ferry routes, the T said.

The new loop will not replace the Seaport Ferry route, the MBTA said. The Seaport Ferry is operated by the Massachusetts Convention Center.

“Year on year, we have enhanced water service and this year is no different. I’m proud that we can bring this new route to be served by the MBTA as we welcome old and new riders this summer,” Interim Transportation Secretary and MBTA General Manager and CEO Philip Ng said in the release.

The MBTA said schedules and additional information will be available soon.
