Three out six for Grimaldi’s West Africa route

[ January 2, 2024   //   ]

Grimaldi Group has taken delivery of the Great Tema, the third of sixro-ro multipurpose G5 class vessels for its Northern Europe to West Africa service. Like her sister ships, she can carry 4,700 linear metres of rolling freight, 2,500 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) and 2,000 TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Units). Compared to the previous G4 class, the new vessels have the same capacity for rolling freight while their container capacity is double.

The main engine and the auxiliary diesel generators will meet the NOx levels imposed by the Tier III regulation. The vessel is designed for cold ironing with shoreside supply of electricity, where available.

From February 2024, the Great Tema will operate between Amsterdam, Hamburg, Tilbury, Casablanca, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Freetown, Cotonou, Lagos, Tema, Takoradi, Abidjan and San Pedro.
