Grandi Navi Veloci obtained the RINA “biosafe ship” notation for two vessels of its fleet: RHAPSODY and GNV ALLEGRA.
Biosafe Ship is a new goal-based notation, based on many different systems, components and operative procedures to control and prevent possible onboard infection outbreak. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, RINA has further strengthened its commitment towards a biosafe shipping by developing dedicated services for the infection prevention and control that is the first additional class notation devoted to this particular matter.
The red and white catamaran SKÅNE JET of the shipping company FRS Baltic moored in Sassnitz on September 2.
On September 17, the former Fjordline catamaran will start to operate between Sassnitz / Germany and Ystad / Sweden.
The short crossing time of only 2.5 hours will allow Germans to go on a day trip to Sweden with FRS Baltic.
