On the 20th December 2023 Grimaldi took delivery at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd shipyard in Ulsan (South Korea) of the third ro-ro multipurpose unit belonging to the innovative “G5″ class. Her name is Great Tema and will further improve the quality of the maritime transport services offered by the Neapolitan company between Northern Europe and West Africa.
With a length of 250 metres, beam of 38 metres and deadweight of 45,684 tonnes, the design of the Great Tema results from a careful study of the needs of the Group and its customers: thanks to an innovative and completely customized internal configuration, the G5-class ships are capable of transport 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.
In addition to loading capacity, the Great Tema stands out on account of her numerous cutting-edge, technological solutions aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Both the main engine and the auxiliary diesel generators will meet the NOx levels imposed by the Tier III regulation, while the integrated propulsion system between rudder and propeller will minimize vortex losses and, consequently, optimize propulsive efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
The vessel is designed for cold ironing with shore side supply of electricity (where available) as a green alternative to the consumption of fossil fuels during port stays.
Furthermore, the electrical consumption of on-board machinery (pumps, fans, etc.) is reduced thanks to the installation of variable frequency drive devices, while the application of innovative, low friction paints reduces hull resistance, thus increasing efficiency.
Finally, the ship is equipped with hybrid exhaust gas cleaning systems for the abatement of sulphur and particulate emissions.
As proof of her high energy and environmental efficiency, the Great Tema enables a reduction of CO2emissions per tonne transport of up to 43% compared to other Grimaldi con-ro multipurpose ships.
“The entry into the fleet and the operation of ships like the Great Tema brings us ever closer to the major, primary goa lof sustainable transport”, stated Gian Luca Grimaldi, President of Grimaldi Group S.p.A. “Indeed, for years we have clearly and concretely pointed our investments in this direction: to meet our customers ‘needs while further reducing the environmental impact of maritime transport”.
