Toulon (FR TLN) is best understood as a ferry and RoRo port rather than a container gateway. Its commercial traffic centres on freight and passenger ferries run by Corsica Sardinia Ferries to Bastia, Ajaccio, Île-Rousse and Porto-Vecchio in Corsica, plus Porto Torres and Golfo Aranci in Sardinia, with seasonal Balearic sailings to Alcúdia and Ciutadella. Accompanied and unaccompanied trailers, vehicles, refrigerated loads and dangerous goods move year-round on these services. Large-scale container line activity is not confirmed; regional container capacity sits well below 100,000 TEU and is handled largely by hand. The port is also a major cruise call and a French naval base. For container, bulk or heavy-lift shipments, nearby Marseille-Fos is the appropriate choice, and Corsica Linea sailings run from Marseille. Forwarders therefore use Toulon specifically for RoRo and ferry cargo to Corsica and Sardinia.
