Corsica Ferries could sail from Marseille
Date: 22 Mar 2006 00:00 Source: Lloyds ListCorsica Ferries is to go head-to-head with SNCM on the latter’s home turf by announcing it would be prepared to launch ferry links to the island from Marseilles. The Corsican Assembly is expected to adopt the text of the public service tender on 24 March, and a bid by Corsica Ferries would mark the first time it has competed for a public concession.
SNCM has historically focused most of its Corsica business on Marseilles, whereas Corsica Ferries has developed rival services from Toulon and now carries twice as many passengers to the island as SNCM. The current concession ends on 31 December 2006. If successful, Corsica Ferries could appear in Marseilles early in 2007, at the same time reducing its operation in Toulon. However SNCM could go into liquidation if it fails to win the concession, and observers believe the tender will be designed to keep SNCM in business. It is thought unlikely that both Corsica Ferries and SNCM ships will run from Marseilles.
