Almost ten months after a fire broke out while sailing to Ibiza, the RoPax ship TENACIA—owned by Isabella Grimaldi’s “Grimaldi Investments” but operated under a bareboat charter by GNV—is back in service.
MSC-controlled GNV confirmed that “TENACIA will return to operations this summer after a period of work necessary to completely restore the technical parts damaged last July.”
The repair work was carried out at the Nuova Meccanica Navale shipyard in Naples, a company in which MSC also holds a stake.
The incident occurred on 8 July in the high seas, north of Ibiza, following a fire outbreak in the engine room. At the time, the ship was carrying goods and approximately 400 passengers and crew between Valencia and Palma de Mallorca.
