Two older RoRo vessels are departing the Grimaldi Group’s fleet. Sources familiar with the matter have informed FSN that the 2011-built EUROCARGO SAVONA has just been sold by Malta Motorways of the Sea to Baja Ferries and will be delivered in the coming weeks for a new assignment in Central America. The vessel, constructed by Odense Steel Shipyard, boasts a cargo capacity of 3,600 lane metres.
Meanwhile, an undisclosed South American company has purchased the 1999-built EUROCARGO VALENCIA, which was built in Italy by Cantiere Navale Visentini and offers a cargo capacity of 2,500 lane metres. The vessel is on her way to Brasil.
These sales are part of a fleet renewal programme that Grimaldi has already bolstered with the delivery of a dozen GG5G RoRo vessels. These new ships, built in China, each have a capacity of 7,800 lane metres.
