The construction of the "A Galeotta", the future liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel ordered by Corsica Linea in July 2019, continues. After launching it for the first time in September, the Italian manufacturer Visentini is currently working on water, wiring and ventilation networks. He will also have to create public spaces, cabins and crew rooms.
According to the company, the future ship should begin its sea trials in six
months. The month of May of next year has indeed been chosen for this stage. For Pierre-Antoine Villanova, CEO of Corsica Linea, this LNG-powered vessel "combines tradition and modernity".


First LNG vessel to serve Corsica He believes that "it is this confidence in the development of the island maritime sector that carries in him "A Galeotta", the first LNG vessel to serve Corsica".
It reflects, according to him, "the environmental and societal commitment, true backbone of Corsica

linea, since its creation nearly six years ago" The construction of this ship is "a major step forward in the greening of its fleet", according to the company. It states that the choice of LNG anchors it "in a sustainable maritime transport movement in the Mediterranean, thanks to the proven environmental qualities of a fuel with almost no emissions of sulphur and fine particles, an 85% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions and a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions".
The "A Galeotta" will be added to the eight other vessels currently in corsica Linea's
fleet. It will display a length of 206 meters, will be able to sail at 23 knots. Its capacity will amount to a thousand passengers and 2,500 linear meters of cargo. It will have represented an investment of 150 million euros.
