Workers
Also waiting for answers are the six thousand workers employed in the various connection lines, which have been strengthened precisely in the light of the start of the summer season and which will continue to operate. Precisely for this reason, the Fit Cisl, asking for “certainty on the future employment levels of the workers of Cin”, urged “the start of a detailed discussion regarding the new industrial plan”. “In the context – continues the Fit-Cisl – it is also urgent to discuss with the Ministry for Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility”.
The tourist season

Not only is there a growth in bookings, as reported by the Company, but several connections have been strengthened since May 20. On Olbia Genoa (round trip) until 3 October departure and night travel from both Genoa and Olbia. And then from “July 14 to September 11, the line” will be further strengthened with the inclusion of another ship with freedom of choice between those who prefer the day crossing or those who prefer the night crossing “. A choice that will also be offered in the high season on the Genoa-Porto Torres-Genoa in the summer with the most options ever with Moby and Tirrenia ”. In the list, until 30 September, the Livorno-Bastia-Livorno, the fastest bridge between Italy and Corsica. And until 19 September “the Genoa-Bastia-Genoa”.
Air Italy
