The Grimaldi Group is set to raise its newbuilding programme to 19 ropax, ro-ro and pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) vessels.
Italy’s largest shipowner will shortly place orders for two new ice-class ropax vessels, managing director Emanuele Grimaldi told the Euromed convention in Sicily.
Talks with three shipyards that are interested in building the duo are “very advanced”, he said.
