The christening of the new car transporter „Grande Svezia“ recently took place at the port of Wallhamn, Sweden. The ship belongs to the Grimaldi Group fleet and is designed for the transport of vehicles. It is equipped with the capability to use ammonia as an alternative fuel, as the company reports. This measure is part of the shipping company’s efforts to make its fleet more environmentally friendly.
The ship, scheduled for delivery in December 2025, will be deployed as part of the Grimaldi Group’s EuroMed service, which connects ports in the Mediterranean region and Northern Europe. The countries served include Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, Morocco, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. According to Grimaldi, the port of Wallhamn, the only private port in Sweden, is managed by the Italian shipping company and plays a central role in this service.
Representatives of the industry
The christening ceremony was attended by several representatives from Swedish customers and partners of the Grimaldi Group, including vehicle manufacturers Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks. They had the opportunity to tour the ship together with the captain and crew. The welcoming speeches at the christening were delivered by Sven-Göran Sjöström, Managing Director of Grimaldi Maritime Agencies Sweden, and Costantino Baldissara, Automotive Atlantic Director of the Grimaldi Group.
