In its Financial Statements 2024 and Financial Review January-December 2024, the Grimaldi Group revealed that its subsidiary Finnlines “is currently considering a further investment of EUR 500 million in three new RoPax vessels, which will be powered by methanol engines capable of running on other fuels as well. These methanol, or so-called multi-fuel, vessels are projected to enter service at the beginning of 2028. Through this significant environmental investment in green vessels, Finnlines will continue to support its customers in the most sustainable way.”
Finnlines also highlights that it “has renewed its fleet over the past few years with three large-sized hybrid Finneco RoRo vessels and two large-sized hybrid Superstar RoPax vessels, and has now completed its EUR 500 million Green Investment Programme. By leveraging the fleet’s economies of scale and capitalising on recent vessel sales, Finnlines can enhance its cost efficiency while also creating new growth opportunities through its routes outside Finland.”
