A recent ruling by the administrative court in Bastia rejected Corsica Ferries’ request to annul the 2019 maritime service delegation agreements between the Collectivity of Corsica and Corsica Linea.
The court found Corsica Ferries’ offer to be incomplete, which disqualified it from contesting the validity of Corsica Linea’s offer.
Additionally, Corsica Ferries argued that these agreements violated European law, claiming no legitimate public service need existed.
The court disagreed, confirming a genuine need for public maritime transport services for both freight and passengers between Corsica and the mainland.
