Less emissions in ro-ro classes
An in-depth study, validated by Rina (Registro Italiano Navale), has been published on the energy efficiency index of ro-ro ships belonging to different classes.
An assessment which evaluated CO2 emissions in terms of km per distance (nautical miles) and cargo capacity (trailers) shows that the latest generation of GG5G-class (Grimaldi Green 5th Generation) ro-ro vessels built for the Grimaldi Group has a seven times better CO2 emission intensity performance than previous generation ships.
The data were collected on specific ro-ro ships and on single vessels representing entire classes; these included the "Aysha", "Eurocargo Trieste", "Eurocargo Valencia" (Visentini class), "Eurocargo Palermo" (Hyundai class) and the most recently delivered "Eco Livorno" (GG5G class). (cd)
