Naples-based Grimaldi Group has unveiled a blueprint for an order of large ro-ros as well as the lengthening of up to a dozen existing vessels. It is also on the lookout for corporate acquisitions in the ropax sector (see story below) ahead of orders in that market next year, says managing director Emanuele Grimaldi.
Speaking at the 20th Euro-Med conference in Venice, Grimaldi said the newbuilding and enlargement programme was necessary to deal with an increase in demand.
