Stormy winds, the races in Porto Torres skip: ship hijacked in Olbia

The mistral that will subside only in the late morning of tomorrow affects the routes with the peninsula. Stop at the maritime connections for PortoTorres. Due to the strong wind that blows up to 35 knots, all the ferries to the Turritano port have been canceled. The Janas ferry of the Tirrenia company, this morning, was hijacked in the port of Olbia. The commander of the ship that departed from Genoa, given the adverse marine weather conditions, had already planned to land in the Gallura port as early as last night. On the other hand, the race of the Sardinia Corsica Ferries company has been canceled.

The violent mistral with peaks of over 70 kilometers per hour is creating many inconveniences to the connections between Sardinia and Corsica. The ferry from Ajaccio remained stationary at the French port. The forecast is that he can resume the race tomorrow morning. The wind wedges itself in the Strait of Bonifacio, the strait that separates Corsica from Sardinia, gaining strength with the currents that increase in intensity, prohibitive conditions that block maritime transport.
