Cooperation agreement between Grimaldi Group and NEL Lines

The Grimaldi Group, headquartered in Naples, and NEL Lines join forces on the Italy-Greece South Adriatic route
 
The Grimaldi Group (Naples) and NEL Lines join forces by starting a close partnership on the Brindisi-Igoumenitsa route, as from the 3rd of October 2012. The cooperation between the two maritime operators covers both operational and commercial matters.
 
Operationally, the agreement foresees the introduction of daily departures to be offered from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa for the transport of any type of rolling equipment (cars, vans, trucks, etc.), as well as passengers. The vessels deployed will be the “Sorrento” and “Florencia”, two modern ro/pax ferries, built respectively in 2003 and 2005. Each vessel can transport, at a service speed of 23 knots, over 950 passengers, 2,250 linear metres of rolling cargo and 170 accompanying cars.
 
Commercially, NEL will flank Grimaldi’s organisation in Greece (Minoan Lines) in the promotion of the joint service in Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. Through this move, the Neapolitan Group, world leader in ro/ro transport and main maritime operator between Italy and Greece, and the Mytilene-based Greek operator NEL Lines consolidate their position in the South Adriatic Italy-Greece maritime routes.
