The Grimaldi Group continues investing to upgrade and modernize its fleet. On Tuesday, 23th of February, with the signing of an agreement worth over USD 500 million, the Neapolitan Group ordered the construction of six new ro/ro multipurpose vessels to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd (Ulsan).
With a length of 250 meters, a beam of 38 meters and a deadweight of 45.684 tonnes,
the ships ordered will inaugurate a new class called G5 , an evolution of the previous class of G4 ro/ro multipurpose units built by the same shipyard and delivered to the Grimaldi Group between 2014 and 2015. Their design is the result of a careful study of the needs of the Group and its customers: thanks to an innovative and completely customized internal configuration, the G5-class ships will be able to transport 4,700 linear meters of rolling freight, 2,500 CEU (Car Equivalent Unit) and 2,000 TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit).
