Director of the Grimaldi Group, as well
as Mario Massarotti, Managing Director
of Grimaldi Logistica España.
The Grimaldi Group has been awarded
a concession of 15 years renewable for
another seven by the Barcelona Port Authority
for the management of the new
Terminal at Muelle Costa.
Guido Grimaldi said that this investment
“demonstrates the aim of the Group to offer
high quality services according to the
needs of our customers. Our goal is to
further enhance our wide network of motorways
of the sea, strengthening the role
of Barcelona as a strategic port for freight
and passenger services offered by the Grimaldi
Group.”
The new terminal, called Grimaldi Terminal
Barcelona, will have a total area of
63,000 square metres and will be fully
equipped for the handling of freight and
passengers. Storage facilities will be
foreseen for freight, particularly for cars,
vans, trucks and other rolling equipment.
A three-level building with a total surface
of 3,750 square metres will be dedicated
to offices, a shopping area, a restaurant
and a conference room. The passenger
terminal will be able to handle 1,800 passengers
boarding and 1,800 disembarking
at the same time, also thanks to a footbridge
with three fingers for the access
of passengers from the terminal directly
into the ships.
The new terminal will accommodate the
passenger and freight transport services
offered by the Group as well as those offered
by others maritime operators. The
Grimaldi Group currently connects daily
Barcelona with Civitavecchia (Rome)
with the deployment of the two cruise
ferries Cruise Roma and Cruise Barcelona
(an extra daily call at Porto Torres,
Sardinia, is offered during the summer
period).
The Group also offers a weekly service
for passengers and freight to the ports of
Livorno and Tangier and a three-timesa-week
service to Livorno and Savona for
freight only.
