VESSEL DESCRIPTION

The VALGARDENA is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) vessel operating under the Maltese flag, associated with the Grimaldi Group, one of Europe's largest maritime conglomerates. Built in 2008 by Fincantieri, Italy's premier shipbuilder, the vessel is designed to carry both wheeled cargo (trucks, trailers, private vehicles) and passengers simultaneously.

The vessel serves routes predominantly within the Mediterranean Sea, with established connections between mainland Italy and the island of Sardinia, a strategically important corridor for both commercial freight and tourist passenger traffic.

As a modern Ro-Pax ferry, VALGARDENA is fitted with passenger accommodation facilities and multi-deck vehicle garages accessible via bow and/or stern ramps. The vessel meets international SOLAS, MARPOL, and MLC maritime regulatory standards applicable at time of build and subsequent surveys.
