Vessel Description

A NEPITA is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) cruise ferry operating under the Cypriot flag, managed and operated by La Méridionale, a French shipping company specializing in maritime services to Corsica from mainland France.

Built in 2001 at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, the vessel combines passenger accommodation with significant vehicle and cargo capacity, characteristic of the Ro-Pax ferry segment. The ship serves the Marseille–Corsica corridor, connecting the French mainland port of Marseille with key Corsican ports including Ajaccio, Propriano, and Porto-Vecchio.

The vessel is named after a nepita, a Corsican aromatic herb (Calamintha nepeta), reflecting La Méridionale's tradition of naming its fleet after plants and elements of Corsican natural heritage.

With a gross tonnage of approximately 27,228 GT and a length of 166.5 meters, A NEPITA is well-suited to the short-sea shipping routes of the Western Mediterranean, providing a vital lifeline connection between Corsica and the French mainland, carrying passengers, vehicles, and accompanied freight.
