Grimaldi Group has held a christening ceremony for its latest newbuild ro-ro vessel – Eco Malta – at the port of Valletta, Malta.
Eco Malta was delivered in March, representing the sixth vessel in the 12-ship Grimaldi Green 5th Generation-class (GG5G) order at Chinese Jinling shipyard located in Nanjing.
Grimaldi said: “The Eco Malta is one of the largest and most eco-friendly ro-ro ships in the world. With a transport capacity of over 500 trailers, these green giants are able to halve CO2 emissions compared to the previous generation of ro-ro ships operated by the Grimaldi Group, and even to reduce them to zero while they are at berth: during port stays, GG5G-class ships can in fact use the electrical energy stored by mega-lithium batteries with a total power of 5 MWh, which are recharged during navigation thanks to shaft generators and 350 sq m of solar panels. Moreover, they are equipped with state-of-the-art electronically-controlled engines and an exhaust gas cleaning system for the abatement of sulphur and particulate emissions.”
