Fiche récapitulative
The project concerns the modernisation and enlargement of the Promoter’s fleet through the acquisition of 22 new ro-ro multi-purpose cargo vessels to be be employed on Mediterranean-Northern Europe routes and Europe-West Africa routes.
The project vessels will operate on Grimaldi’s existing Northern European routes to and from EU Mediterranean and West Africa ports contributing to the development of the internal European market, improvement of EU – third country links and to the Commission’s policy to promote short Sea Shipping. The aim of this policy is to help curb the forecasted substantial increase in road traffic and help rebalance the modal shares as well as bypass land bottlenecks.
