The latest generation of GG5G-class (Grimaldi Green 5th Generation) ro-ro vessels built for the Grimaldi Group has seven times better CO2 emission intensity performances than previous generation ships. This emerged from an in-depth study, validated by RINA (Registro Italiano Navale), relating to the calculation of the energy efficiency index of ro-ro ships belonging to different classes.
The assessment evaluated CO2 emissions in terms of kilograms per distance (nautical miles) and cargo capacity (trailers).

This morning the christening of the vessel Eco Savona took place at the port of Savona.

The event was attended by representatives of regional and local authorities and of the Savona port community, by some of the Neapolitan company’s main customers and by the Grimaldi Group top management. The ceremony was introduced by the greetings of Ilaria Caprioglio, Mayor of Savona and Godmother of the vessel, Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority System Chairman Paolo Emilio Signorini, Savona Port Maritime Director Francesco Cimmino, Grimaldi Group Corporate Short Sea Shipping Commercial Director Guido Grimaldi and the President of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti.
