Vessel Description

GNV AZZURRA is a Ro-Pax (Roll-on/Roll-off Passenger) ferry operating under the flag of Italy as part of the Grandi Navi Veloci fleet, a company within the MSC Group. Built in 1980 at the Cantieri Navali di Palermo shipyard in Italy, the vessel is one of the older units in the GNV fleet and has served primarily on Western Mediterranean routes connecting mainland Italy with Sicily and North Africa.

The vessel is designed to carry both passengers and wheeled cargo, with Ro-Ro ramp access enabling the loading of private vehicles, trucks, and trailers alongside passenger accommodation. With a capacity of approximately 1,600 passengers and around 870 lane meters of cargo space, the vessel plays a dual role in both leisure and commercial freight transport within the Mediterranean basin.

GNV (Grandi Navi Veloci) operates a fleet of large ferries across key Mediterranean corridors, and AZZURRA has historically served routes between Genoa, Palermo, and Tunis, linking northern Italy with southern domestic and international North African destinations.
