The vessels will also feature hybrid exhaust scrubber systems, transverse thrusters, and a hybrid electric system aimed at improving efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering emissions. This integrated approach addresses the demanding operational requirements ferry operators face, such as availability, efficiency, and emissions compliance across varying routes. Roger Holm, President of Wärtsilä Marine, emphasized the close cooperation with Grimaldi Group to meet these needs effectively. The fleet renewal programme reflects a broader push towards decarbonisation and sustainable shipping practices within the industry. These newbuild ferries represent a significant step in Grimaldi Group’s commitment to modernizing its fleet with environmentally adaptable technologies.
