With the distribution of the Eco Adriatica, the fleet of Grimaldi Green 5th Generation (GG5G) course crossbreed vessels is practically total. This is the 11th of 12 advanced devices gotten from the Chinese Jinling shipyard situated inNanjing Designed by Knud E. Hansen, the GG5G-class ships are not just the biggest ro-ro devices on the planet for brief sea delivery, however additionally one of the most green.
The Eco Adriatica flies the Italian flag, has a size of 238 meters, a beam of light of 34 meters, a gross tonnage of 67,311 tonnes and also a solution rate of 20.8 knots. The packing ability of her 7 decks– 2 of which are hoistable– is two times that of the previous course of brief sea ro-ro ships released by the Grimaldi Group: actually, the vessel can lug some 7,800 straight meters of products, equal to about 500 trailers and also 180 autos.
However, the rise in ability does not influence gas usage, many thanks to the fostering of many extremely cutting-edge technical remedies that enhance the ship’s functional and also ecological efficiency: actually, at the exact same rate, the Eco Adriatica takes in the exact same quantity of gas contrasted to the previous generation ro-ro ships, and also is consequently able to cut in half carbon dioxide exhausts each moved.
The vessel is geared up with advanced, online regulated engines and also with an exhaust gas cleansing system for the decrease of sulphur and also particle exhausts. In enhancement, throughout port keeps, the Eco Adriatica can reducing exhausts to absolutely no by utilizing the electrical energy kept in huge lithium batteries with an overall power of 5 MWh; these are reenergized throughout navigating many thanks to shaft generators and also 350 m2 of photovoltaic panels.
“It is not enough to talk about ecological transition: we must bring about change, and our Group is doing it by making its fleet increasingly modern, efficient and sustainable”, stated Emanuele Grimaldi, Managing Director of the Neapolitan delivering firm. “With ships such as the Eco Adriatica and her GG5G-class sister units, we concretely contribute to reducing the environmental impact of maritime transport in Europe.”
