Around 1.5 million passengers pass through Bastia each year, but for freight forwarders the port matters as Corsica's leading commercial gateway by tonnage. RoRo is the core business: accompanied and unaccompanied trailers, trucks and swap bodies move across dedicated ramps, alongside breakbulk and supply cargo for the island's retail trade. Three operators — Corsica Ferries, Corsica Linea and Moby Lines — link the north-eastern Corsican port to Genoa, Livorno, Savona, Nice and Toulon. No dedicated container liner service calls here, so boxes typically travel as trailer loads or route via the mainland. Inland distribution relies entirely on Corsica's coastal and mountain roads, with no rail freight connection. For scheduled container shipments, Ajaccio or the mainland hub of Marseille-Fos are practical alternatives.
