- CORSICA linea (@CorsicaLinea) January 14, 2020Three Corsica Linea boats have been stranded at the port of Marseille since January 10 due to a strike by the staff of another shipping company, La Méridionale. The Corsican workers' union (STC) and the CFTC of La Méridionale claim that their company and Corsica Linea conclude an agreement to share the future service of the five Corsican ports from Marseille from January 2021 for seven years.
