Classified as a coastal transport (Trasporto Costiero), the Bormida served primarily to support logistical operations, including the transport of supplies and personnel, along Italy's coast and to nearby islands. It provided a vital link for the Italian Navy in ensuring efficient distribution of resources and maintaining a presence in key coastal areas.
