«At Christmas there are no public connections between Villa S.Giovanni and the historic port of Messina, but only those for Tremestieri are operational». The report comes from the No Bridge – Capo Peloro Committee and raises new concerns about maritime transport between Messina and Villa San Giovanni. Especially during these holidays.
From 17 December 2025, as confirmed by the official Bluferries website, the only active route is the one between Villa San Giovanni and Messina – Tremestieri. But the question that the No Bridge – Capo Peloro Committee asks itself is: «Why? And who decided this limitation?”.
The result of this decision for the No Bridge – Capo Peloro Committee is a true private monopoly. With inevitable repercussions on the quality of life of citizens and on the environment. In fact, private ferries unload not only cars but also heavy vehicles. In the heart of the city. With all that this entails in terms of inconvenience. “A slightly more protruding tree branch is enough, as happened recently on Viale della Libertà, in Messina, to damage and block a heavy vehicle, causing a frightening traffic jam during rush hour”, explains the No Bridge Committee – Capo Peloro.
“What does the Strait Port System authority intend to do considering the heavy consequences of these choices on our territory? – the committee asks – And what actions does the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, who preferred to focus on the Strait Bridge rather than on concrete solutions to improve maritime connections, intend to take?” “We ask for urgent and simple measures to improve transport and connections in the Strait area”, concludes the note.
