Heavy Competition on the Europe – Türkiye Route (1)

The competitive battle between Italy’s Grimaldi Euromed and Denmark’s DFDS on the Istanbul–Trieste ro-ro route has entered a new phase.

DFDS has just redelivered the RoRo POL STELLA from charter (see next article).

At the same time, Grimaldi will deploy a fourth vessel on the line from next week, further boosting capacity.

The additional ship is EUROCARGO ROMA, a 200-metre vessel with capacity for 4,000 lane metres (around 280 semi-trailers and 200 cars). It will join three “Eco” series ships, each offering 7,800 lane metres (over 500 semi-trailers).
