The Grimaldi Group will operate on the Cagliari-Arbatax-Civitavecchia section. The award decided yesterday by the Ministry of Transport «is important and awaited news», affirms the general secretary of the Fit Cisl Ignazio Lai .
"The risk of losing a continuous maritime service is thus averted - continues the secretary - as in the recent past , when we witnessed tenders that were deserted ". The comment comes following the assignment of the connection between the Sardinian port and the Lazio port. The service, according to MIT reports, will start on September 23 and end on September 22, 2026.
For Lai "the coverage of such an important route for maritime transport comes after a long period in which the tenders were deserted, because they were considered unsuitable by the shipowners". "Accepting our proposals as well, we acknowledge that the regional Transport Department has chosen the right path, granting slightly more balanced compensation for public service obligations", concludes the secretary general.
