studies for the implementation of a towing assistance service

In collaboration with See’Up, Technical, economic and financial studies for the implementation of a towing assistance service at Bastia’s commercial port.

Since May 2021, a decree has imposed the closure of the port if an average wind speed of between 30 and 45 knots is recorded (depending on wind components). This measure follows the grounding of the Corsica Linea ship Paglia Orba in January 2021, on the shoal at the entrance to the port.

In order to prevent such an accident from happening again, the Corsican Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in its capacity as concession holder and operator, has launched a public tender to study the conditions for implementing a port-of-call assistance service at Bastia’s commercial port.
