Confirmed the connection with Porto Torres
March 14, 2013
Large Navi Veloci (GNV) has announced the decision to suspend own marine connection for passengers and goods on the Genoa-Olbia route, while he has confirmed instead the summery connections with the Sardinia between the port of the capital of Liguria and Porto Torres.
Communicating the reorganization of own offer for the Sardinia, GNV has explained that, "in the light of a progressive decrease of the question of the tourist flows, that it has made to today record a decrease to two figures from 2010, the company has decided to operate a single connection for the island, suspending the line from Genoa for the port of Olbia. The choice of rimodulare the connections, besides the weakness of the question - it has specified GNV - is dictated also by the increase of the technical and managerial burdens, to begin from those which they make reference the price of the fuel, that they remain always much elevating".
"The Sardinia - it has observed the general manager of Large the Navi Veloci, Ariodante Valeri - is a goal that has recorded during the last few years a constant decrease of the tourist flows. In this so difficult conjunctural moment, our company cannot in some way to operate in loss regime. The recorded levels of reservation today for Olbia would not allow us to operate that line with profit. We hope that in future the trend endures a radical change of direction, that allows with the Company to restore the connections with Olbia".
The company has specified that it will directly contact all the passengers who have already acquired a ticket for Olbia, which will be able to choose, so as expected from the European norm (Regulations EU N. 1177/2010), if to modify their reservation - disembarking to Porto Torres - or to obtain the integral reimbursement of the ticket. Moreover Large the Navi Veloci, to the aim to limit to the maximum the uneasiness of own customers, has engaged itself, in addition to previewed how much from the norm, to offer also the riprotezione, without no variation of price, on board of the ships of the navigation companies that operate on the same line.
