Vessel Description

SALAMMBO is a passenger ro-pax ferry operating under the Tunisian flag and registered to Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation, the national shipping company of Tunisia. Built in 1997 at the renowned Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, the vessel was purpose-built for Mediterranean passenger and vehicle ferry operations. She serves regular scheduled routes connecting Tunisian ports, primarily La Goulette (port of Tunis), with European Mediterranean destinations including Genoa and Marseille. The vessel accommodates passengers in cabin and seating configurations alongside vehicle deck capacity for private cars and freight units, making her a dual-purpose passenger and cargo carrier typical of Mediterranean short-sea ferry operations.
