With a long experience dating back to 1947, the Grimaldi Group is specialised in the operation of rollon/roll-off vessels, car carriers and ferries. It is a dedicated supplier of integrated logistics services based on maritime transport to the world’s major vehicle manufacturers. Through its maritime services, the Naplesbased Group also transports containers, palletised/unitised cargo and passengers with a modern fleet of more than 120 ro/ro-multipurpose vessels, pure car carriers and ferries, 30 of which built in the last five years.

The Group’s presence in the maritime transport of vehicles started in 1969 when it introduced a regular service between Italy and England. The Group rapidly gained the trust of other major car manufacturers who chose Grimaldi’s vessels to transport their production from North Europe to various Mediterranean countries. Throughout the years the Group rapidly developed and it now serves over 120 ports in 50 countries in the Mediterranean Sea, North Europe, West Africa, North and South America. The shore personnel and crew are over 15,000 people.

The Grimaldi Group comprises six main shipping companies, including Atlantic Container Line (ACL), Malta Motorways of the Sea, Finnlines and Minoan Lines. The Finnish company, Finnlines, runs a fleet of ro/pax and ro/ro vessels in the Baltic Sea and North Europe, while the Greek ferry company Minoan Lines operates a ro/pax service between between Piraeus and Crete.

The Grimaldi Group has also evolved to become a multimodal transport operator offering “door to door” logistics services. For this purpose, it currently operates, together with strategic partners, various car and container terminals totalling over six million sq. metres in the Mediterranean, North Europe and West Africa as well as trucking companies for the transport of cars and containers.

In recent years, the Group has also invested in the development of the “Motorways of the Sea” in the Mediterranean Sea introducing new and modern ropax ferries. Currently, its network covers Italy, Spain, Malta, Montenegro, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Greece for the transport of trailers, cars and passengers. The high quality service offered by the Grimaldi
