Corsica Linea

Corsica Ferries, operating also as Corsica Linea and Corsica Sardinia Ferries, is a maritime transportation company headquartered in France. The organization provides passenger and freight ferry services primarily in the Mediterranean Sea, with a core focus on routes connecting the island of Corsica to mainland France and Italy, as well as to Sardinia. Its business model centers on facilitating travel and cargo movement across these key sea lanes, serving both tourist and commercial markets. The company maintains a significant presence in this regional corridor, a positioning underscored by its multiple trading names which reflect its branded service offerings and geographic scope. Its operations involve managing vessel schedules, onboard services, and port logistics to ensure the transport of vehicles, goods, and travelers.

The company has demonstrated operational resilience and a commitment to customer service continuity during cybersecurity incidents. In October 2023, a cyberattack rendered its online reservation systems inaccessible for over 30 hours, yet the company ensured that all existing bookings remained valid and that maritime operations, including passenger embarkation and freight transport, continued without disruption. Customers were directed to purchase tickets dockside, maintaining service availability. A similar incident in January 2022 forced its website offline, halting online bookings, but the company proactively disconnected affected servers and implemented corrective measures while preserving phone and agency booking channels. Notably, it confirmed that no personal data was compromised in the 2022 event and collaborated with France's national cybersecurity agency, ANSSI, for investigation, though the attack source was not identified. These responses highlight a practiced capability to isolate digital service disruptions from core physical operations, a distinguishing attribute in its sector. The organization consistently communicated updates via its website and social media during outages, managing customer expectations transparently. Its approach prioritizes the continuity of scheduled sailings and flexible booking modifications during technical crises, reinforcing its role as a critical infrastructure provider in the region. The incidents also reveal a regulatory awareness through engagement with ANSSI, aligning with national cybersecurity protocols for essential service operators.
