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). The data were collected on specific ro-ro ships and on single vessels representing entire classes; these included the Aysha, Eurocargo Trieste, Eurocargo Valencia (Visentini class), Eurocargo Palermo (Hyundai class) and the most recently delivered Eco Livorno (GG5G cla
