GNE WS 3 Developments The bold, unprecedented move is set to boost the Ro/Ro and passenger Mediterranean network Nine new Motorways of the Sea launched T he take over of Minoan Lines (see previous page) and the launch, in the first week of Feb- ruary 2009, of an unprecedented set of new passenger and Ro/Ro lines has substantially boosted the Group’s network of motorways of the sea. In particular, Grimaldi Lines is to start nine new low cost connections for passenger and freight (Ro/Ro). Some of these were previously performed for freight only and now have passenger capacity too. The move is to bring to over 30 the number of the Group’s motorways of the sea between Italy, Spain, France, Malta, Tunisia and Libya. The new low cost passenger connections include those between Civitavecchia and Porto Torres, between Barcelona and Porto Torres, between Genova, Civitavecchia, Catania and Malta, be- 4 GNE WS tween Civitavecchia, Trapani and Tunis. A tonnage upgrade is also applied to a number of existing lines, such as the Salerno/Palermo/Tunis route where a larger, faster and more modern Cruise Ferry, the Eurostar Barcelona, will be deployed. Porto Torres - Civitavecchia. It is the only existing link between North Western Sardinia and Central Italy and represents a formidable support to both Sardinia’s tourist industry and to the local exporters and importers. Performed in 7 hours by the largest and most modern Cruise Ferries in the whole Mediterranean, this Ro/Ro-passenger service is run three times a week from October to March; six times a week from April to July and in September; daily in August.

The vessel can also load 1,318 containers on the weatherdeck which is served by a pair of 40-ton cranes having a 38 metres outreach. These ships are also fitted with a ramp allowing the loading of special project cargo of up to 250 tons a piece. The first ship in the class, named ‘Grande Angola’, was delivered at the end of 2008, while her younger sister, the ‘Grande Ghana’ is due to be commissioned at the end of January. Following her maiden call in Lisbon, that saw a special reception held onboard attended by clients and local authorities, the ship was deployed on the Southern Express Service, part of the Grimaldi West African Network. Active in the Portuguese shipping market since the 50’s; Grimaldi, in November 1986 started a regular service linking Lisbon which has become one of the most regular operators in the market. Deployment of the “Grande Angola” and her sisters will represent a big step forward on a market where Grimaldi already set the standard of service offering the most adequate and efficient vessels on the trade. To celebrate the introduction of this new vessel, Grimaldi Portugal organised a dinner/show attended by about 200 guests, a vast majority of whom were clients. A visit to the vessel was also organised, during which most of the clients had the opportunity to see in loco the unique capabilities and versatility of this new generation of “Grande” vessels.

GNE WS13 NEWS The Little Tank Home Special tanks to Luanda A T CL transported a vintage tank from Baltimore, Maryland, to Hamburg aboard the roll-on/roll-off/containership Atlantic Companion. The tank’s journey began when the Czech Embassy in Washington asked the U.S. Army if they would return a tank to the Czech Government that found its way to the U.S. Military Museum in Aberdeen, Maryland in 1945. The 11.6-tonne tank was 5.01 metres long x 2.03 metres wide and 2.24 metres high. It was towed directly into one of the three main RORO decks of the ship via her 420 metric tonne capacity stern ramp, parked and lashed for a safe and secure transatlantic voyage. Following the discharge in Hamburg, the tank went to its final destination a local museum in Prague and was officially introduced as a new museum piece in late November. he first shipment of a total of fifty railroad tanks produced in Portugal for Sonangol, the Angolan oil company, has left Lisbon on 4th January bound to Luanda onboard the Ro/Ro Multipurpose ship Thebeland deployed on the Southern Service serving West Africa. The tanks were produced some 150 km south of Lisbon and delivered by truck to the terminal where they were loaded onto mafi trailers. Grimaldi Lines has been selected as carrier for this cargo as the vessels and equipment are extremely well adapted for the safe carriage of this cargo. Acl’s Ship Management S wedish Crewing Management (SCM), a Philippine company partly owned by Transatlantic AB who manage and crew ACL vessels is 10 years old. The company recruits, trains and supplies Philippino officers and ratings to ACL and Finnlines vessels. The company maintains a clinic and advanced training facilities for deck and engine room officers. A celebration was held in Manila to mark this milestone. In addition a ceremony was held at Mapua College of Maritime Training at Laguna in the Philippines to mark the signing of contracts by Transatlantic with 8 cadets who are graduating from the college. SCM have a partnership with the College, one of the premier engineering colleges in the Philippines, and undertake to select some of the graduating class for the Transatlantic managed fleet of ships which includes ACL. Minoan Lines has the Best Reputation I n the annual pan-Hellenic research ‘Famous Brands’ conducted by Tradelink Reputation Research and Consultancy, Minoan Lines was named as the shipping company with the best reputation for 2008. The research was carried out by phone in a representative sample of 1,000 people from Athens and Thessalonica. Minoan Lines’ chief executive officer, Antonis Maniadakis (pictured), received the award from the General Director of Tradelink Mr Makis Obadias. 14 GNE WS Venice Blue Flag for Minoan S afeguarding the environment is of key importance for the Group, that has achieved yet another goal in this field when its subsidiary Minoan Lines was awarded the “Venice Blue Flag”. This award is given to those companies operating a strict environmental protection policy when calling Venice. Under the agreement, vessels have to start burning low sulphur bunker fuel from the entrance to the Venice Lagoon. The allowed level of sulphur in the fuel is under 2% when sailing and under 1.5% when the ship is moored. Also, Minoan Lines committed not to take any action that could create additional pollution to the air and the waters surrounding Venice, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
