The vessel will be soon deployed on Grimaldi Group’s services between Northern Europe and West Africa.

Since taking delivery of Great Antwerp, the second vessel in the series, Great Lagos, has been launched at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, with delivery slated for this summer.

All six of the vessels will be delivered between 2023 and 2024 and will be deployed on the same routes.
