They have a load capacity of over 7,800 linear meters of rolling stock
November 2, 2021
The Eco Catania and the Eco Livorno,flag Italian, they are 34 meters wide, have a gross tonnage of 64,000 Tons. The ships are capable of carrying over 7,800 meters linear rolling goods each, equal to about 500 trailers (over to 180 cars) compared to the 250 semi-trailers that ships in previously used on the route were able to carry.
"In addition to ensuring zero emission impact on territory - underlined the president of the Authority of Port System of the Southern Adriatic Sea, Ugo Patroni Griffi, commenting on the introduction into the service of new ships - will increase exponentially the transport capacity of rolling stock from port of Brindisi. This means that traffic volumes, which already now mark significant records, despite the pandemic and energy transition, will whirlwind, with important repercussions on the entire economic sector of the territory. A result, this, unthinkable until a few months ago. The two new ro-ro ships, in fact, can land in Brindisi, even at night, as a result of the raising of the limits of airdraft determined by the airport landing cone that will allow the two ships to be able to moor at the docks of the Terrare, despite being 47.80 meters high. The Grimaldi Group - has specified Patroni Griffi - has decided to invest in Brindisi, in a strategic vision linked to infrastructure projects that we have in the pipeline in the immediate future. In fact, the flood accessibility of the port for ships of this toning will be had, exclusively, with the construction of the briccole pier (contract in the course of award) and with the realization of the approaches of Sant'Apollinare".
