Which ferries leave Marseille for the Corsican ports of Ajaccio, Bastia, Porto-Vecchio, L’Île-Rousse and Propriano, and for Algiers and Tunis: operators, crossing times as the booking site lists them, and when we last checked.

Marseille is the main French port for ferries to Corsica and across the western Mediterranean to North Africa. La Meridionale and Corsica Linea sail to the Corsican ports, and Corsica Linea and CTN sail to Algeria and Tunisia. Each card gives the figures as the booking site states them and says when we last checked.
