Tanit ferry of the Tunisian Navigation Company (French: CTN) Friday docked at the Port of La Goulette, with 1,096 passengers and 505 vehicles on board; the ship was coming from the Port of Marseille.

The first crossing of the season, from the port of La Goulette to that of Marseille, took place on June 13. It aimed to take stock of passenger reception and accommodation conditions and address shortcomings, Central Director of Passenger Transport at the CTN Samir Thamuni said.

Good conditions for the return of Tunisian expatriates are also sought. "All indicators show signs of a promising season," the official highlighted.

The CTN scheduled 147 crossings to secure the return of Tunisian expatriates (June 15-September 15). With a 400,000-passenger capacity, the company will secure 77 voyages through the Port of Marseille, 70 through the Port of Genoa and 9 through the Port of Zarzis.
