Full of tourists in Olbia on the first Sunday of June.
In fact, there are three cruise ships and 8 ferries in transit from 6 am to 10 pm from the Gallura city on June 2nd, for a total of approximately 15 thousand passengers disembarking and embarking. A record.
The first to dock in the docks of the White Isle were the two ultra-luxury ships Seven Seas Voyager and Azamara Pursuit, plus the extra large MSC Orchestra.
Followed by several thousand passengers of different nationalities (Americans, English, French and Italians) who have, for the most part, chosen excursions to the Costa Smeralda, La Maddalena, the vineyards and archaeological monuments of Gallura. For the remaining, however numerous, a tour of the city center.
«Today, with three large cruise ships moored at the same time and the presence of 8 ferries arriving and departing, is the first real record day for the Isola Bianca port since 2008 – explains Massimo Deiana, President of the AdSP of Sardinian Sea - A historic performance, made more complex by the presence of the latest generation maxi ferries, which required extraordinary work from all the AdSP staff, the Maritime Directorate of Olbia, the Pilots, the Tugmen and the Moorers , to whom I extend my particular thanks for their commitment and great professionalism. Despite some physiological problems, such as the continuous movement of muddy material in the seabed, for which, within our competence and within the limits set by the law, we have put in place immediate solutions, the port of Olbia is therefore in good health. The hope - concludes Deiana - is that results like today's can leave their mark and overcome the sterile controversies and reckless considerations that risk generating unnecessary alarmism to the detriment of the excellent reputation of the airport at an international level".
