Some more information about our customer:

Grimaldi Lines is a shipping company, founded in Palermo in 1947 with the name of “Sicula Oceanica S.A.” thanks to the Grimaldi brothers, children of Amelia Lauro in Grimaldi and grandsons of the shipowner Achille Lauro, their fleet was made up of cargo ships dating back to the First World War to be refitted to make ships for emigrants and refugees which, as in the case of uncle, the Grimaldis decided to buy at low cost in the post-war market.

In January 1949 the steamship Ruahine was acquired from New Zealand which, after being refitted and renamed Auriga, sailed between Italy and Central America. This was followed by the acquisitions of the steamships City of Hong Kong and Prince Robert, renamed Centauro and Lucania respectively.

From 1983 to 1996 the Grimaldi group operated in the cruise service with the Ausonia Cruise brand and the turboship Ausonia, previously belonging to Italia Crociere Internazionali and which, in 1998, was supplied by a Cyprus shipowner.

The company was founded in 1999 by Guido Grimaldi, with the aim of starting a service within the “Autostrade del Mare” project. The shipping company purchases the Freccia Blu and Malta Express motor ships, with which it begins the first freight connections between Italy, Spain and Malta. In 2000 the company also began to carry out passenger services: the first open routes connect Italy (Civitavecchia, Salerno and Palermo) to Spain (Barcelona), the French Riviera (Toulon), Corsica (Porto Vecchio) and Tunisia (Tunis).

Over time, numerous routes are open, several ships are purchased and the company goes through a period of growth: today the company connects the major Italian ports also to Sardinia, Sicily, Greece and Morocco. Recently the company moved its operations center from Salerno to Civitavecchia.

The travel trade shows where we usually set up for Grimaldi Lines are the following:
