An exceptional call by Finnlines at Le Havre: HAROPA PORT welcomes the shipping line’s first hybrid RoRo vessel.
Finnlines has made a mid-September call at the port of Le Havre as part of its rotation linking Finland and Spain. This is the Finnish shipping line’s very first call at Le Havre.
The FINNECO III called at Le Havre’s RoRo terminal and was processed by stevedores SMR who are
specialists in ferry and RoRo operations. Welcoming this vessel illustrates the partnership established between the Grimaldi Group and HAROPA PORT and opens the way to future decarbonized port calls at Le Havre’s RoRo terminal, underpinning the development of the automotive industry and its associated logistics.
Le FINNECO III: a latest-generation hybrid RoRo vessel
The Finnish-flagged FINNECO III is a vessel in the Grimaldi Green 5th Generation – RoRo class, along with its two twin sister ships. Equipped with the latest technologies, this FINNECO III, which was delivered last May, allows a maximum reduction in the carbon footprint of its rotations to be achieved.
Characteristics of Finneco series:
5,800 lm – the equivalent of 400 trailers
Modular construction with hydraulically adjustable decks
Up to 7m height
Hybrid – lithium-ion batteries and 600 sq.m. of solar panels
The acquisition of these new hybrid vessels is testimony to the Grimaldi Group’s desire to contribute to the energy transition and the move towards decarbonized maritime transport.
