SHARE
La Méridionale, a French shipping company, was formed in 1931 by Henri and Félix Rastit under the name CMN - Compagnie Méridionale de Navigation. Today, the company operates three modern ferries to the Corsican ports of Bastia, Ajaccio and Propriano as well as Porto Torres in Sardinia. Along with Corisca Linea they hold the public service contract for transportation between Corsica and France.
