GNV and Grimaldi Holding signed a 3-year bareboat charter for FORZA and TENACIA.
Option 1+1 years
Both ferries have been operating 10 months for GNV, in sub-charter from Trasmediterranea.
Ferry Shipping News understands that, practically, it will be an extension of the current charters, even if this new agreement involves directly Grimaldi Holding and MSC-controlled GNV.
Daily rates for each bareboat charter should be around EUR 15,000 and there are no purchase options.
TENACIA and FORZA both have capacity of 2,000 lane meters and 1,000 passengers and are currently deployed on the routes linking Italy mainland to Sicily and Sardinia.
