[edit] History

Tirrenia was founded in 1936, resulting of the nazionalization of many private-owned Italian lines. After WW2, the few ships surviving the conflict were used to connect italian islands, mainly Sardinia, to the mainland. In '70s ships were gradually replaced by ferries, and since the end of '80s the company has been upgrading its older units with faster ones capable of reaching 30 knots.

[edit] The company today

Now Tirrenia is a modern State-owned company, having partly abandoned the oppressing bureaucracy and the personnel surplus typical of a public administration. The company connects the Italian mainland to Sardinia, Sicily, Tremiti islands, Croatia and Albania. A distinguishing feature of the company is that the large majority of personnel comes from Naples.
