Vessel Description

The vessel is a high-speed Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) cargo and passenger ferry operated by Grimaldi Lines, part of the Naples-based Grimaldi Group, one of Europe's largest Ro-Ro shipping operators. Built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Castellammare di Stabia in 2010, the vessel was designed for intensive short-sea Mediterranean service.

The ship is configured to carry both rolling cargo units — including trucks, trailers, and cars — as well as passengers, making it a multipurpose Ro-Pax vessel suited for regular scheduled service across central Mediterranean routes. Its relatively high service speed of approximately 22 knots supports tight turnaround schedules typical of short-sea ferry operations linking mainland Italy with the islands of Sicily and Sardinia.

As part of the Grimaldi Euromed fleet, the vessel contributes to freight logistics chains connecting Italian industrial centers with island economies, operating under the Italian flag and compliant with applicable EU and IMO maritime regulations.
