At the South Korean shipyard Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. of Ulsan the Grimaldi group took over Great Lagos, second multipurpose ro-ro unit of the "G5" class which will be used between Northern Europe and Africa Western, routes on which the additional four new units of the "G5" class whose Delivery to the Italian shipowning company is expected between 2023 and 2024.

250 meters long, 38 meters wide and with a deadweight of 45,684 tons, ships of class "G5" can transport 4,700 linear meters of rolling goods, 2,500 CEU (CAR equivalent unit) and 2,000 container teu. Compared to the previous one class "G4" new units have a capacity rolling stock unchanged, while that for container.

In addition to its load capacity, the Great Lagos stands out for its numerous technological solutions cutting-edge aimed at energy efficiency and reduction of environmental impact. Both the main engine and the diesel auxiliary generators meet the NOx levels imposed by the IMO Tier III regulation, while the integrated propulsion system between rudder and propeller allows to minimize swirling losses and, As a result, optimize propulsion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. The ship is also prepared for supply of electricity from land during mooring, which constitutes, where available, a green alternative to the consumption of fossil fuels during port stops. Electricity consumption of on-board machinery (pumps, fans, etc.) is, instead, Reduced thanks to the installation of variable frequency devices drive, while the application of innovative low-roughness paints allows to reduce the resistance to the advancement, increasing the efficiency of the units. Finally, the ship is equipped with Hybrid exhaust gas cleaning systems for abatement sulphur and particulate emissions. Overall, the Great Lagos is able to reduce CO2 emissions to Tonne transported up to 43% compared to other ships multipurpose of the Grimaldi fleet.
