Italian shipping company Grimaldi Lines has increased freight capacity on its route between Italy and Turkey, via Greece, effective from mid-October. This has been achieved by replacing the RoRo vessel EUROCARGO ROMA, which has a capacity of 3.800 lane metres, with the RoRo vessel ECO ADRIATICA, which has a capacity of 7,800 lane metres.

Grimaldi Lines launched the Trieste–Bari–Patras–Ambarli–Gemlik route in September 2024 and now operates it with four RoRo vessels: ECO ADRIATICA, ECO MALTA, ECO MEDITERRANEA and ECO SALERNO. All four vessels belong to the new and large GG5G class.

EUROCARGO ROMA has been transferred to the Livorno–Savona–Barcelona route.
