TRIESTE –<\/strong> Intesa Sanpaolo<\/a> has completed a deal with Grimaldi Euromed (Grimaldi Group)<\/a>: a loan of \u20ac162.3 million to finance the purchase of three vessels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ships are three next-generation Pure Car & Truck Carriers (PCTC), named Grande Egitto, Grande Pacifico and Grande Oceania, with delivery expected during 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the Grimaldi Group, as CEO Diego Pacella<\/strong> explained, the financing supports a strategy in which fleet renewal is central. The deal also strengthens a long-standing partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo, confirmed as one of the group\u2019s main banking partners. The three units are part of a broader programme including 17 new PCTCs ordered between 2022 and 2023, for a total investment of more than $1.6 billion<\/strong>. Each ship will have a capacity of 9,800 CEU and an advanced environmental profile.<\/p>\n

Technical features include the Ammonia Ready class notation<\/strong>, allowing future conversion to ammonia fuel, Green Plus and Green Star 3 certifications, and Comfort Vibration and Comfort Noise Port notations. On board, the ships will have 5 MWh of mega lithium-ion batteries, around 2,500 square metres of solar panels, cold ironing systems<\/strong> for shore power supply, and an air lubrication system that reduces hull resistance. Propulsion is optimised by a gate rudder\u2014installed for the first time on PCTCs\u2014improving efficiency and manoeuvrability.<\/p>\n

The financing is structured as a Green Loan and fits Intesa Sanpaolo\u2019s ESG strategy. Between 2021 and the first nine months of 2025, the group disbursed about \u20ac84.7 billion to support the green economy, the circular economy and the ecological transition. The partnership with the Grimaldi Group reflects a shared vision of sustainable development. From 2018 to 2025, the shipowner ordered 48 new vessels worth a total of around $5 billion<\/strong>, combining fleet investments with green upgrades of ports and terminals in Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
