More connections between Italy and Greece
The Naples (Italy)-headquartered Grimaldi Group is enhancing its maritime connections between Italy and Greece, where the group is active with the Grimaldi Lines and Minoan Lines brands.
Starting from 11 June, the deployment of the ro/pax vessel "Venezia" will add further capacity to the Venice-Igoumenitsa-Patras line. The ferry, flying the Italian flag, has a carrying capacity of 2,250 linear metres, corresponding to about 130 trucks. The ro/pax service will have a biweekly frequency. It will be added to the existing three departures dedicated to freight only, for a total of five weekly sailings from Venice to Greece.
With the introduction of the "Venezia", there will be a total of seven ro/ro and ro/pax units deployed by the Grimaldi Group between Italy and Greece. Guido Grimaldi: “The Grimaldi Group will offer as many as 50 departures on a weekly basis between Italy and Greece." (mw)
