Corsica Ferries and Corsica Linea set the rhythm at Nice, running roll-on/roll-off freight and passenger sailings to Bastia, Ajaccio and Île-Rousse on Corsica. Known as Port Lympia after the spring where digging began in 1745, the harbour combines a busy ferry quay with a modest cargo trade. Its most distinctive freight is cement and aggregate, for which Nice ranks among France's leading discharge ports. The compact city port is not built for container liner services, so standard boxes move through Marseille-Fos instead. Hinterland access relies on the Côte d'Azur motorway network, with rail freight playing virtually no part. For FCL containers, large-scale customs clearance or project cargo, Marseille-Fos and nearby Toulon — itself a Corsica freight-ferry hub — are the practical choices.
