Vessel Description

The PIANA is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) ferry operating under the French flag, named after the commune of Piana in Corsica. Built in 2011 by STX France in Saint-Nazaire, the vessel was purpose-built for Mediterranean ferry operations connecting mainland France with the island of Corsica.

The vessel is operated by La Méridionale, a French shipping company historically serving Corsican routes under public service obligations. The PIANA is designed to carry both passengers and vehicles (cars, trucks, and freight), making it a key asset in Corsican supply and tourism logistics.

The ship features passenger amenities appropriate for overnight and day crossings, including cabins, restaurants, and vehicle deck facilities. Its diesel-electric propulsion system reflects a design emphasis on operational efficiency suitable for short-to-medium Mediterranean routes.

Note: Users should verify current operational status and ownership details via official maritime registries such as Lloyd's Register, Equasis, or the French Maritime Authority (DIRM), as vessel details may be subject to change.
