Start Romagna is preparing to launch a new public tender for a fully electric ferry to operate between Porto Corsini and Marina di Ravenna.
The vessel will serve as a short-sea link across the Candiano Canal.
According to local media RavennaToday, chairman Andrea Corsini and director Angelo Erbacci confirmed that the new tender budget has been increased to EUR 6 million.
The previous tender, launched in October 2024, had a budget of EUR 5 million.
The current ferries on the route — BALENO (built 1990) and AZZURRO (built 1996) — are considered too old for continued operation.
