The inconvenience continues for tourists and hauliers who every day try to reach Corsica from Santa Teresa, towards Bonifacio. The trips have been canceled daily and guaranteed in fits and starts since last June, due to the continuous failures of the Moby ferries, which should guarantee the service together with Ichnusa Lines. In recent weeks, the latter has taken on some of the travelers and workers who remained stranded.
An age-old issue, which worsens in the summer, when the large influx of tourists and cars to the island of France takes away space from the trucks that must guarantee deliveries to Corsican companies. And the reduction in the number of ferries has made the situation even worse. Confartigianato intervened with the president Giacomo Mameli on the damage suffered by hauliers and businesses: «The situation of uncertainty that hauliers, businesses and ordinary citizens are experiencing, with the worry of not knowing whether they will be able to leave or return is devastating for the whole regional economic system", says Meloni, "it is necessary to intervene now with real and concrete solutions because the "buffer" or alternative ones, although laudable, are temporary conditions that create uncertainties for transporters and the economic realities of Gallura and the rest of the island, because they do not allow us to plan embarkation, disembarkation and deliveries with the necessary certainty".
In recent weeks the Region, with councilor Barbara Manca, had obtained reassurances from Moby and guarantees on the service, but the ferry breakdowns and inconveniences, unfortunately, continued. Last Tuesday, the representative of the Todde council met the Corsican transport manager Flora Mattei in Ajaccio, with a view to strengthening the transport system between the two Islands, also in light of the problems encountered in recent weeks. From this perspective, the Region is working on the possibility of activating an air connection between the two islands, which would allow an increase in the influx of passengers and would also favor the birth of an interregional economic system and lay the foundations for a cultural and commercial alliance.
