RoPax KALLISTE of La Méridionale, which the CMA CGM Group had initially planned to scrap, will instead be acquired by Corsica linea. Remember that the unions went on strike to protest against the scrapping plans.
After half a year of lay up, KALLISTE will go to drydock in Marseille to be repainted (from blue to red) and to be ready for the season as from mid-April.
FSN also understands (unconfirmed) that Corsica linea is also expected to charter MASSALIA (former NORMANDIE), and that the CMA CGM Group, —owner of La Méridionale—, is looking to sell one of the ferries under construction.
