Three "Eco" vessels between Italy, Greece and Turkey

The Grimaldi Group continues to invest in ro-ro links between Italy, Greece and Turkey: on 24 March, a third “Eco” vessel joined her sister ships Eco Malta and Eco Mediterranea already operating on the Trieste – Patras – Ambarli – Gemlik route. The new addition to the fleet is the Eco Salerno, one of fourteen green giants belonging to the GG5G class, featuring unprecedented transport capacity and environmental performance.

The introduction of the Eco Salerno on this line follows the strongly positive market response to the launch and steady enhancement of this Grimaldi Group service. With the deployment of the three vessels, each capable of carrying over 500 trailers, boasting a 50% reduction in carbon footprint at sea and zero emissions in port, the Naples-based shipping company now offers even more space and quality for this new – yet already vital – maritime corridor. All of this comes with the guarantee of regular and frequent connections: two weekly departures in both directions between Ambarli and Trieste, as well as between Gemlik and Bari or Patras, while between Gemlik and Trieste there are as many as three sailings a week in both directions.
