MSC and GNV Confirm Order for Four Additional LNG-Powered RoPax Ferries
GNV, part of the MSC Group, has officially announced a new order for four additional RoPax vessels to be built by Guangzhou Shipyard International.
Each vessel will:
- Be powered by LNG
- Accommodate up to 2,500 people and 3,500 lane metres of cargo
- Measure 237m in length and 33m in width
- Have a gross tonnage of 71,300 GT
- Feature 527 cabins
The first delivery is expected in early 2028, with the remaining ships arriving at six-month intervals. Between 2025 and 2030, GNV’s fleet will be reinforced with a total of eight new-generation vessels.

“Every moment of the journey counts”
GNV has launched a new brand campaign, coinciding with the announcement of eight new vessels joining the fleet by 2030. The campaign reflects a renewed focus on service quality, comfort, and safety—across the entire customer journey.
Developed by Dentsu Creative, the campaign went live on 7 May, the day of the announcement.
