Kydon Palace on the line that provides for two regular daily departures from each of the two ports.
Europalink , which beats the Italian flag, it can carry 930 passengers and 3,900 linear metres of rolling stock, equal to 220 trucks. Compared to the ship Igoumenitsa , which will go to replace on the line, with each trip it will be able to carry a 20% percent more passengers and about 50% percent more trucks.
With regard to the maritime links between Italy and Greece, the Grimaldi group is also active on the Ancona-Igoumenitsa route for the transport of goods and passengers.

In addition, between the two sides of the Adriatic the company also operates the Venice-Bari-Igoumenitsa-Patrasso service, dedicated to the exclusive transport of rotable goods with the use of the world's largest ro-ro ships.
