Air Corsica and CORSICA linea have launched a joint offer called Aria e Mare, allowing Corsican residents to combine air and sea travel in a single booking. Travellers can fly one way (Marseille or Nice–Corsica) and return by ferry (Marseille–Corsica), or vice versa.
The offer is tailored to resident needs and simplifies round trips between the island and the continent.
Tallink transported 1.49 million passengers in Q2 2025 – a 2.5% increase year-on-year – signalling renewed trust and travel appetite. However, freight volumes dropped 22.8%, highlighting continued pressure in that segment.
Q2 Revenue: €207 million
EBITDA: €37.4 million
Net Loss: €2.5 million (incl. €11m dividend tax)
CEO Paavo Nõgene points to seasonality, reduced idle vessels, and strategic moves like the sale of STAR I and chartering of ROMANTIKA as positive signs for recovery.
Despite a challenging first half – with passenger volumes down 3.8% and a net loss of €35.7 million – investments in fleet renewal (€22m) and debt reduction signal a long-term commitment to resilience and shareholder value.
Maintenance of BALTIC PRINCESS and SILJA SERENADE accounted for 68 days out of service, part of the group’s strategy to extend asset life and improve passenger experience.
Tallink stays the course with a clear focus: optimising operations, reducing debt, and returning to profitability.

Nouris El Bahr Ferries?
Indeed, the website of this unknown Algeria-based company says they will launch soon. A countdown is active.
The shown vessel is Polferries’ CRACOVIA, currently laid up in Świnoujście, Poland.
Nouris El Bahr, or “The Seagull”, intends to be a competitor to Algerie Ferries.
On its Linkedin Page, the company says in French that “Our mission is to transform the maritime industry in Algeria and elevate it to an entirely new level, making every journey exciting and memorable!”.
After Algerie Ferries suffered from multiple technical issues, with cancelled trips and laid-up vessels, and management reshuffles, irritation is growing.
