Basalt has established a long term partnership with existing shareholders of Caronte & Tourist, a leading Sicilian ferry transport group. The Company owns and operates 26 Roll-on/Roll-off ferries (“Ro-Ro”) across two main business segments, providing safe and reliable transport links across the Stretto di Messina and to the Minor Islands in the region.

The Company is the largest operator of Ro-Ro ferries in Sicily and has been operating since 1965 maintaining essential transport links across the Sicilian island. Today the group retains on contract over 1000 staff and is investing in a new eco-friendly fleet.
