"We are outside the port of Olbia, the ship has been stationary for an hour, motionless in front of Pittulongu, without them saying why."

Anger and protests aboard the Moby Wonder that left Genoa last night. The ship was supposed to dock at the Gallura port at 7:30 but was still stuck at sea at 10:00. A trip to forget for the passengers, especially those who had bought a ticket departing from Genoa at 21:00, re-protected on the next trip at 21:30 but with the prospect – for many of them – of spending the night in an armchair.

"About one hundred and fifty people," Roberto Caddeo, from Cagliari, said on the phone last night, "found themselves without a cabin for the night because there aren't enough for everyone. People are forced to travel in armchairs, and we're also talking about families with small children and elderly people."

Shouts and protests, while some passengers called the police to report the serious situation of discomfort. Luckily, shortly before departure, which occurred a few minutes late, several people were placed in the cabin. Others asked and obtained from the "lucky" ones to share the cabin.

"The fact is," Caddeo emphasized, "it's the same old story: the transportation problem is always the same, for us Sardinians it's just inconvenience." This morning, yet another hitch. The landing took place only after 10:30.
