On November 26, <strong>Grimaldi</strong><br />
Compagnia di Navigazione<br />
S.p.A., the Group’s<br />
parent company successfully completed<br />
the public offer of purchase<br />
on the shares of Minoan Lines, the<br />
Athens-listed ferry operator. The offer<br />
valued each share at €5.29 and<br />
the entire company at €375,198,540.<br />
On its closure <strong>Grimaldi</strong> controlled<br />
84.72% of Minoan Lines, up from the<br />
33.36% held on October 3, when the<br />
offer was launched. The shareholding<br />
rose to 84.96% by the end of December<br />
2008 as the Group purchased<br />
more shares on the market.<br />
Minoan Lines is based in Heraklion<br />
(Crete), it operates a fleet of six<br />
modern Cruise Ferry vessels on the<br />
routes linking the Greek mainland<br />
and Crete, as well as between Italy<br />
and Greece. In 2007, Minoan Lines<br />
transported 1.57 million passengers,<br />
283,000 cars and 153,000 trailers. In<br />
the first nine months of 2008, the company<br />
transported 1.41 million passengers,<br />
260,000 cars and 130,000<br />
trucks.<br />
On completion of the public offer, Mr.<br />
Emanuele <strong>Grimaldi</strong>, the joint Manag-<br />
Heraklion<br />
ing Director of the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Group<br />
and President of Minoan Lines commented:<br />
“We are particularly pleased<br />
and proud of having gained control of<br />
Minoan Lines, one of the most important<br />
Greek ferry operators. This move<br />
is part of our industrial strategy to<br />
build a solid Pan-European alliance of<br />
major brands in the transport by sea of<br />
passengers and freight. In addition to<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines and Minoan Lines, our<br />
powerful set of brands includes Finn-

Strategy to build a solid Pan-European alliance of major ferry<br />
brands takes a step forward. Synergies and co-operation to be<br />
fully exploited. At the end of 2008 shareholding stood at 84.96%<br />
lines, the leading operator in the Baltic,<br />
which is listed on the Helsinki Bourse”. At<br />
the end of 2008, the Group held a 64.90%<br />
shareholding in Finnlines.<br />
“Minoan Lines – continued Mr. <strong>Grimaldi</strong> -<br />
is now an important part of the Group but<br />
it will indeed remain a truly great Greek<br />
company, managed by Greek people,<br />
with solid roots and headquarters in<br />
Heraklion. We are pleased with the Minoan<br />
management which will remain at<br />
the helm of the company. In our plans,<br />
Minoan Lines will remain listed on the<br />
Athens stock exchange”.<br />
“We want to make Minoan a bigger and<br />
stronger company while improving the<br />
level of services to our clients – stressed<br />
Mr <strong>Grimaldi</strong> -. We have a strong development<br />
plan to strengthen all the lines<br />
served by Minoan: the Piraeus-Heraklion,<br />
that is of paramount importance, the<br />
Patras/Igoumenitsa-Ancona and also<br />
the Patras/Igoumenitsa-Venice. None<br />
of these lines is up for sale, there is no<br />
doubt on this”.<br />
“Since the presence of the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Group<br />
in the shared capital of Minoan Lines, the<br />
cooperation has been very fruitful for<br />
both companies. Synergies are being<br />
generated in various fields from both a<br />
revenue and cost saving point of view<br />
as well as in the commercial field. This<br />
process will gain new momentum to the<br />
benefit of all the shareholders of Minoan<br />
Lines and of the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Group”, concluded<br />
Mr <strong>Grimaldi</strong>.<br />

Developments<br />
The bold, unprecedented move is set to boost the Ro/Ro and<br />
passenger Mediterranean network<br />
Nine new Motorways<br />
of the Sea launched<br />
The take over of Minoan Lines<br />
(see previous page) and the<br />
launch, in the first week of February<br />
2009, of an unprecedented set<br />
of new passenger and Ro/Ro lines<br />
has substantially boosted the Group’s<br />
network of motorways of the sea.<br />
In particular, <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines is to start<br />
nine new low cost connections for passenger<br />
and freight (Ro/Ro). Some of<br />
these were previously performed for<br />
freight only and now have passenger<br />
capacity too. The move is to bring to over<br />
30 the number of the Group’s motorways<br />
of the sea between Italy, Spain, France,<br />
Malta, Tunisia and Libya.<br />
The new low cost passenger connections<br />
include those between Civitavecchia<br />
and Porto Torres, between Barcelona<br />
and Porto Torres, between Genova,<br />
Civitavecchia, Catania and Malta, between<br />
Civitavecchia, Trapani and Tunis.<br />
A tonnage upgrade is also applied to<br />
a number of existing lines, such as the<br />
Salerno/Palermo/Tunis route where a<br />
larger, faster and more modern Cruise<br />
Ferry, the Eurostar Barcelona, will be<br />
deployed.<br />
Porto Torres - Civitavecchia. It is the<br />
only existing link between North Western<br />
Sardinia and Central Italy and represents<br />
a formidable support to both Sardinia’s<br />
tourist industry and to the local<br />
exporters and importers. Performed in<br />
7 hours by the largest and most modern<br />
Cruise Ferries in the whole Mediterranean,<br />
this Ro/Ro-passenger service is<br />
run three times a week from October to<br />
March; six times a week from April to<br />
July and in September; daily in August.<br />
Porto Torres - Barcelona. It is the only<br />
existing link between Sardinia and<br />
Spain and opens new markets to Sardinia’s<br />
tourist industry and a cheaper<br />
and faster tool for the local exporters<br />
and importers. Performed in 12 hours,<br />
by the largest and most modern Cruise<br />
Ferries in the whole Mediterranean, this<br />
Ro/Ro-passenger service is run threetimes-a-week<br />
from October to March;<br />
six times a week from April to July and<br />
in September; daily in August.<br />
Genoa - Catania. It is so far a 3-timesa-week<br />
freight-only line but as from the<br />
end of January it will also offer once-aweek<br />
the only direct passenger service<br />
between Genoa and Catania.<br />
Genoa - Malta. This service, which<br />
is vital for the Maltese economy, has a<br />
biweekly frequency. One of these two<br />
calls is for passengers too.<br />
Catania - Malta. Previously a freightonly<br />
line, the service is now run twice-a-<br />

EuroAegean brings the US<br />
to Lebanon via Hamburg<br />
As from the beginning of January<br />
the successful EuroAegean<br />
Service has been substantially<br />
upgraded both in terms of transport capacity<br />
and number of ports of call and<br />
therefore markets it serves. Following the<br />
introduction of the Pure Car Truck Carrier<br />
(PCTC) Grande Napoli, the service now<br />
has as many as nine vessels deployed on<br />
it, with the latest vessel added being about<br />
20% bigger and more capable than the<br />
other eight ships serving the trade, which<br />
are all in the Grande Italia class.<br />
At the same time, the network of ports<br />
served by the EuroAegean has been<br />
widened by adding five new destinations:<br />
Hamburg (Germany), Limassol (Cyprus),<br />
Beirut (Lebanon), Tartous and Lattakia<br />
(Syria), Mersin (Turkey) and Alexandria<br />
(Egypt). Such an enlargement creates additional<br />
export opportunities not only for<br />
the German and North European sourcing<br />
market but also for exporters in the<br />
United States. Hamburg’s Unikai terminal<br />
has in fact being designated as the<br />
Group’s transhipment hub for cargo from<br />
the US and Canada sailing on ACL ships<br />
and bound not only to Lebanon but to the<br />
entire North African and East Mediterranean<br />
range served by <strong>Grimaldi</strong>, from<br />
Lybia to Turkey.<br />
Under the new profile of the service, five<br />
of the nine EuroAegean ships are scheduled<br />
to have additional calls at Hamburg,<br />

<strong>Grimaldi</strong> has opened up its<br />
own agency in Morocco. Under the<br />
trade name of <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Agencies<br />

to providing a high quality service<br />
to all of the Group’s customers in<br />
Morocco. As from the end of January<br />

EIB in €200m ‘<strong>Grimaldi</strong><br />
Ro/Ro’ credit line<br />
The European institution decided to co-finance seven new<br />
multipurpose Ro/Ro ships. The deal brings to €<strong>45</strong>0m<br />
the EIB commitment with <strong>Grimaldi</strong><br />
The Luxemburg-based European Investment<br />
Bank (EIB) has decided<br />
to support a development project<br />
named ‘<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Ro/Ro’ focusing on the<br />
construction of seven large Multipurpose<br />
Ro/Ro ships between 2008 and 2010. The<br />
EIB has therefore made available €200m<br />
to co-finance these ships that are being<br />
built by the Uljanik Shipyards of Croatia<br />
at a total cost of about €400m.<br />
The first stage of the EIB financing –<br />
worth about €30m – was made available<br />
through UniCredit Corporate Banking<br />
to co-finance the purchase of the vessel<br />
Grande Angola, the first of these new<br />
ships, delivered at the end of 2008.<br />
The Group is extremely pleased and<br />
satisfied with the solid relationship developed<br />
in recent times with the European<br />
Investment Bank. A relationship<br />
that has so far resulted in an aggregate<br />
financial allowance of €<strong>45</strong>0m for the<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Group to co-finance two different<br />
industrial projects worth one billion<br />
euro in new ships. These projects have<br />
a relevant role in supporting the European<br />
economy in such difficult times.<br />
In fact, they foresee the construction at<br />
European shipyards of as many as 11<br />
ships slated for delivery between 2008<br />
and 2010. Additionally, when these ships<br />
enter the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Network of services,<br />
they will have an active role in supporting<br />
the European trades, both amongst<br />
EU countries and between EU countries<br />
and the rest of the world.<br />
This ‘<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Ro/Ro’ is in fact the second<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> industrial project to have<br />
gained EIB support in the last few months.<br />
In September 2008, the EIB made available<br />
a €250m credit line to co-finance<br />
four Cruise Ferry vessels, part of the<br />
Group’s Motorways of the Sea development<br />
plan and ordered at the Fincantieri<br />
yard in Italy. These four ferries have an<br />
approximate total value of €600m. The<br />
first couple of twins, named Cruise Roma<br />
and Cruise Barcelona, were delivered in<br />
April and September 2008 respectively<br />
with the hand over of the third sister due<br />
in September 2009 and the last one following<br />
in 2010. The ferries in the ‘Cruise<br />
Roma class’ are the largest freight/passenger<br />
ships ever used in the Mediterranean:<br />
they are able to carry up to 2,140<br />
passengers and up to 3,600 lane metres<br />
of vehicles (187 trailers and 215 cars).<br />
They also generate a considerable environmental<br />
advantage as they cut by 40%<br />
the amount of CO2 necessary to transport<br />
a comparable amount of cargo via<br />
road or air (for the passengers).<br />

terms of cargo mix and have a substantial<br />

heavy Ro/Ro cargo and 3,037 cars on several<br />

containers on the weatherdeck which is<br />
served by a pair of 40-ton cranes having<br />
a 38 metres outreach. These ships are<br />
also fitted with a ramp allowing the loading<br />
of special project cargo of up to 250<br />

named ‘Grande Angola’, was delivered<br />
at the end of 2008, while her younger<br />
sister, the ‘Grande Ghana’ is due to be<br />
commissioned at the end of January.<br />
Following her maiden call in Lisbon, that<br />
saw a special reception held onboard<br />
attended by clients and local authorities,<br />
the ship was deployed on the Southern<br />
Express Service, part of the <strong>Grimaldi</strong><br />
West African Network.<br />
Active in the Portuguese shipping market<br />
since the 50’s; <strong>Grimaldi</strong>, in November<br />
1986 started a regular service linking<br />
Lisbon which has become one of the<br />
most regular operators in the market.<br />
Deployment of the “Grande Angola”<br />
and her sisters will represent a big step<br />
forward on a market where <strong>Grimaldi</strong> already<br />
set the standard of service offering<br />
the most adequate and efficient vessels<br />
on the trade.<br />
To celebrate the introduction of this new<br />
vessel, <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Portugal organised<br />
a dinner/show attended by about 200<br />
guests, a vast majority of whom were<br />
clients. A visit to the vessel was also organised,<br />
during which most of the clients<br />
had the opportunity to see in loco the<br />
unique capabilities and versatility of this<br />
new generation of “Grande” vessels.<br />

New terminal area<br />
and logistics services<br />
in Senegal<br />
Investments carried out to widen<br />
further both Dakar hub role and<br />
services for the local market<br />
In accordance with the strategic relevance<br />
of Dakar as regional hub for<br />
the Group network, <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Senegal<br />
is consolidating its position in the Country<br />
investing in a 6,000 sqm area of land<br />
located in the Dakar port-city area. The<br />
Group’s local subsidiary is planning to<br />
build new offices on the premises, and to<br />
create a logistics centre for the trucking<br />
activity, as well as offering an off-dock<br />
container depot.<br />
In order to guarantee the high standards<br />
required to serve all <strong>Grimaldi</strong> lines on<br />
the Atlantic routes with 200 ship calls per<br />
annum, <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Senegal is also managing<br />
the only licensed car park area in the<br />
port. The area has a surface of 7,500 sqm,<br />
completely fenced and secured, in order to<br />
ensure damage-free handling solutions for<br />
both cargo transhipped for other west African<br />
destinations, and the import of vehicles<br />
bound for the Senegalese market.<br />
Furthermore, in order to guarantee highquality<br />
standards of services to the customers,<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Senegal is operating its<br />
own haulage to door with a fleet which also<br />
includes a side-lifter trailer equipped with<br />
40 tons lifting capacity to allow deliveries<br />
at any premises.<br />
Central Express Service improvements<br />
The introduction of a sixth vessel increases hold capacity and improves the<br />
frequency to every six days. Network extended to Abidjan<br />
With the aim to meet shippers’ requests<br />
for more frequent sailings<br />
from Europe to key West African destinations,<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> has taken the decision<br />
to upgrade its Central Express Service<br />
which, until the end of 2008, was served<br />
by five large Ro/Ro multipurpose vessels.<br />
From early 2009, this service is being<br />
strengthened and improved through<br />
the introduction of a sixth Ro/Ro multipurpose<br />
vessel which is replacing a<br />
dedicated car carrier. This development<br />
will mark an increase in cargo intake capacity<br />
to all the destinations covered by<br />
the service while frequency is being increased<br />
from 8 to 6 days.<br />
Meanwhile, the service has recently resumed<br />
calling at Abidjan, in Ivory Coast<br />
marking a return to this important destination,<br />
offering a regular, fast and direct<br />
access to European markets for Ivorian<br />
exporters.<br />
Once all the new developments are introduced<br />
in early 2009, the result will be a<br />
market leading combined Multipurpose<br />
Ro/Ro service well suited also for project<br />
cargo and containers, offering a direct<br />
sailing every six days from Northern Europe<br />
to Lomé, Cotonou, Lagos, Tema and<br />
Abidjan, thus allowing shippers to plan<br />
more effectively their shipments.<br />

is to develop all matters related to forwarding<br />
and logistics.<br />
At <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Agencies Argentina the majority<br />
of the staff is made up of former<br />
employees of Turner, <strong>Grimaldi</strong>’s previous<br />
agent. This will make for a smooth<br />
start-up while providing a considerable<br />
amount of experience, which added to<br />
great motivation will indeed ensure a<br />
superior service and success.<br />
Argentina is an important market for<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines which calls both Zarate<br />
and Buenos Aires every 9 days with six<br />
large Multipurpose Ro/Ro ships deployed<br />
on the North Europe/South America line<br />
that also serve intra-Mercosur trades.<br />
Cargo to and from Argentina is mostly<br />
containerised, project cargo, cars, trucks<br />
and trailers.<br />
<strong>Grimaldi</strong> Agencies Argentina offices<br />
are strategically located in the centre<br />
of the commercial and financial district<br />
of Buenos Aires, and is a short distance<br />
from the port Terminal, where <strong>Grimaldi</strong><br />
vessels operate. Carlos Lanseros is the<br />
General Manager and Luis Valentini the<br />
Commercial Manager. Operations Manager<br />
is Luis Arano while the Financial<br />
and Administrative Manager is Francisco<br />
Stumbo.<br />
Plate Logistics S.A. is situated in the<br />
same offices as <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Argentina, but<br />
operates independently and is managed<br />
by Pablo Jedlinski, who has good experience<br />
of the trade.<br />

South America Line in Dakar 2009 debut<br />
Once again <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines has supplied<br />
the shipping services for the<br />
cars, motorbikes and trucks taking part<br />
in the Dakar rally. This year on its 20th<br />
anniversary the famous rally crossed<br />
the Atlantic to reach Argentina and Chile.<br />
The 580 plus vehicles taking part in the<br />
Dakar 2009 left Argentina’s Capital of<br />
Buenos Aires on 3 January to complete<br />
the race in the same city on 18 January.<br />
The round trip to Buenos Aires via Valparaiso<br />
(Chile) has seen the participants<br />
racing for more than 6,000 kilometres and<br />
having to cope with many varied difficulties<br />
on route. All of the vehicles that left<br />
Europe to race in the Dakar 2009 sailed<br />
from the French port of Le Havre in early<br />
December onboard the PCTC Grand<br />
Benelux. In particular, this very special<br />
cargo totaled 3,070 linear metres comprising<br />
of about 234 trucks and 318 cars.<br />
Additionally, some 185 motorbikes and<br />
24 quads were loaded onboard inside as<br />
many as 44 containers while the various<br />
equipment of the teams was loaded in 13<br />
additional containers. All this cargo was<br />
safely discharged at the port of Zarate on<br />
time for the race to start.<br />
After the race, the vehicles that have completed<br />
the Dakar 2009 will make the return<br />
journey to Europe, once again on one<br />
of the vessels deployed on <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines’<br />
North Europe/South America Service.

Helsinki new port<br />
is fully operational<br />
Finnlines services relocated while subsidiary Finnsteve<br />
is the main port operator<br />
Since 24 November 2008, Helsinki’<br />
Sompasaari has been virtually<br />
closed to commercial traffic<br />
and the newly built port of Vuosaari,<br />
some 20 km away has become Helsinki’s<br />
only commercial port and Finland’s main<br />
seaport. Through Finnsteve, the port<br />
handling company it owns, Finnlines has<br />
played a major role in making Vuosaari<br />
wholly operational. Finnlines (a company<br />
controlled by the <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Group) is also<br />
one of the main users of Vuosaari for both<br />
cargo and passenger traffic. The first<br />
Finnlines’ ship to operate there was the<br />
Finnstar, that glided into the brand new<br />
port in a snow storm. The conditions and<br />
facilities for Finnlines operations in the<br />
Port of Vuosaari are excellent. The port<br />
area has been designed to function as<br />
efficiently as possible. The consolidation<br />
of all operations in Helsinki to one port<br />
increases efficiency. The Port of Vuosaari<br />
will therefore create new opportunities<br />
and far more effective transport solutions<br />
for all of Finland, as well as for transit traffic<br />
to and from Russia.<br />
Subsidiary Finnsteve is the operator of<br />
both Ro/Ro and Container terminals. In<br />
Vuosaari Harbour it operates a ro/ro multipurpose<br />
terminal providing berthing<br />
space for up to 10 ships simultaneously.<br />
In particular, the container terminal area<br />
can accommodate up to 5,000 TEU and is<br />
equipped with four STS container cranes<br />
and 20 straddle carriers. It has also 184<br />
ground level reefer slots and a storage<br />
area for hazardous cargo.<br />
As for the Ro/Ro terminal, it features two<br />
twin-level ramps to speed-up loading<br />
and unloading operations on the newest<br />
Finnlines’ ships and 8 one-level ramps.<br />
It features over 1,000 slots for semitrailers<br />
and 30 reefer slots for trailers as well<br />
as a storage area for hazardous cargo<br />
and one container crane. The port offers<br />
improved services for lorry traffic<br />
too. It is in fact directly connected to the<br />
motorway network while the port’s gate<br />
area provides parking and waiting areas<br />
for 150 lorries, as well as several filling<br />
stations.<br />
Besides transporting cargo, Finnlines’ ropax<br />
vessels carry up to 500 passengers<br />
daily between Germany’s Travemünde<br />
and Helsinki. The new Hansa passenger<br />
traffic terminal in the Port of Vuosaari is<br />
more spacious and modern and can be<br />
reached by bus from the Vuosaari metro<br />
station.<br />

The Little Tank<br />
Home<br />
ACL transported a vintage tank from<br />
Baltimore, Maryland, to Hamburg<br />
aboard the roll-on/roll-off/containership<br />
Atlantic Companion. The tank’s journey<br />
began when the Czech Embassy in<br />
Washington asked the U.S. Army if they would return a tank to the Czech Government<br />
that found its way to the U.S. Military Museum in Aberdeen, Maryland in<br />
19<strong>45</strong>. The 11.6-tonne tank was 5.01 metres long x 2.03 metres wide and 2.24<br />
metres high. It was towed directly into one of the three main RORO decks of the<br />
ship via her 420 metric tonne capacity stern ramp, parked and lashed for a safe<br />
and secure transatlantic voyage. Following the discharge in Hamburg, the tank<br />
went to its final destination a local museum in Prague and was officially introduced<br />
as a new museum piece in late November.<br />
Acl’s Ship Management<br />
Swedish Crewing Management (SCM), a Philippine company partly owned by<br />
Transatlantic AB who manage and crew ACL vessels is 10 years old. The<br />
company recruits, trains and supplies Philippino officers and ratings to ACL and<br />
Finnlines vessels. The company maintains a clinic and advanced training facilities<br />
for deck and engine room officers. A celebration was held in Manila to mark this<br />
milestone. In addition a ceremony was held at Mapua College of Maritime Training<br />
at Laguna in the Philippines to mark the signing of contracts by Transatlantic with<br />
8 cadets who are graduating from the<br />
college. SCM have a partnership with<br />
the College, one of the premier engineering<br />
colleges in the Philippines,<br />
and undertake to select some of the<br />
graduating class for the Transatlantic<br />
managed fleet of ships which includes<br />
ACL.<br />
Special tanks<br />
to Luanda<br />
The first shipment of a total of fifty railroad<br />
tanks produced in Portugal for Sonangol,<br />
the Angolan oil company, has left Lisbon<br />
on 4th January bound to Luanda onboard<br />
the Ro/Ro Multipurpose ship Thebeland deployed<br />
on the Southern Service serving West<br />
Africa. The tanks were produced some 150<br />
km south of Lisbon and delivered by truck<br />
to the terminal where they were loaded onto<br />
mafi trailers. <strong>Grimaldi</strong> Lines has been selected<br />
as carrier for this cargo as the vessels and<br />
equipment are extremely well adapted for the<br />
safe carriage of this cargo.<br />
Venice Blue Flag<br />
for Minoan<br />
Minoan Lines<br />
has the Best<br />
Reputation<br />
In the annual pan-Hellenic research ‘Famous<br />
Brands’ conducted by Tradelink Reputation<br />
Research and Consultancy, Minoan Lines<br />
was named as the shipping company with<br />
the best reputation for 2008.<br />
The research was carried out by phone in a<br />
representative sample of 1,000 people from<br />
Athens and Thessalonica. Minoan Lines’ chief<br />
executive officer, Antonis Maniadakis (pictured),<br />
received the award from the General<br />
Director of Tradelink Mr Makis Obadias.<br />
14 GNEWS<br />
Safeguarding the environment is of key<br />
importance for the Group, that has<br />
achieved yet another goal in this field when<br />
its subsidiary Minoan Lines was awarded<br />
the “Venice Blue Flag”. This award is given<br />
to those companies operating a strict environmental<br />
protection policy when calling<br />
Venice. Under the agreement, vessels have<br />
to start burning low sulphur bunker fuel from<br />
the entrance to the Venice Lagoon. The allowed<br />
level of sulphur in the fuel is under 2%<br />
when sailing and under 1.5% when the ship<br />
is moored. Also, Minoan Lines committed not<br />
to take any action that could create additional<br />
pollution to the air and the waters surrounding<br />
Venice, one of the most beautiful cities<br />
in the world.
