TRIESTE –<\/strong> The Grimaldi Group<\/a> is strengthening its fleet through a new investment backed by Banco BPM: a \u20ac55 million financing agreement<\/strong> has been signed for the construction of the Grande Inghilterra, a PCTC (Pure Car & Truck Carrier) vessel to be deployed on services between Italy and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The transaction is part of a broader investment plan, aimed at consolidating the group\u2019s global presence and making the fleet more sustainable and efficient.<\/strong>
\nThe Grande Inghilterra, currently under construction in China with delivery scheduled for spring 2026, stands out for its high cargo capacity, lower fuel consumption compared with previous vessels and a range of green technological features, including 5 MWh mega lithium batteries, cold ironing systems for shore power supply while in port, solar panels and advanced emissions control systems.<\/strong> It represents a concrete response by the Grimaldi Group to the growing need for sustainability and lower environmental impact in maritime transport.<\/p>\n

According to Grimaldi Euromed CEO Diego Pacella<\/strong>, \u00abBanco BPM\u2019s financing is a key element in combining fleet modernisation, environmental sustainability and international competitiveness\u00bb. The deal follows a path already taken by the group through other banking agreements, including the \u20ac162.3 million green loan with Intesa Sanpaolo, aimed at the construction of three next-generation PCTC vessels.<\/p>\n

The agreement with Banco BPM comes in a context of energy transition and geopolitical instability<\/strong>: bunker price dynamics, tensions in strategic chokepoints such as Hormuz and environmental constraints are pushing shipping operators to focus on a modern fleet, efficiency and financial resilience. The investment in the Grande Inghilterra is therefore a long-term choice, combining sustainability, technological innovation and industrial strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
