On 20 April, CORSICA linea officially welcomed the “new” ferry CAPU DI MURU during a ceremony in the port of Marseille, attended by its seagoing and shore-based teams.

Following the inauguration, the RoPax vessel entered service on the Marseille–L’Île-Rousse route, replacing MONTE D’ORO. MONTE D’ORO will leave the fleet.

CAPU DI MURU is the new name of the former KALLISTE, previously operated by La Méridionale. The ferry had initially been destined for scrapping, but that plan changed after strong union pressure to keep the vessel in service.

CORSICA linea’s Social and Economic Committee (CSE) approved the purchase in March 2026, saving the ship from planned demolition in Turkey.
