Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) is working with classification society RINA and other stakeholders to convert a ferry into a hospital ship able to handle coronavirus sufferers in Italy.
Ugo Salerno, RINA's chief executive, told TradeWinds that a ropax ferry belonging to MSC-owned operator Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV) will be converted in the project, which is in its early stages.
