Sefine Shipyard introduced the PCU two-way car and passenger ferry, built by the Italian Caronte & Tourist, to the sea.
Sefine Shipyard had started the construction of the sister of Elio, which it had previously built for the Italian Caronte & Tourist. The new ship was named Pietro Mondello in memory of the father of Caronte & Tourist Chairman Olga Franza Mondello.
250 million Euro renovation
A few days after the delivery of the new ferry ordered by Caronte & Tourist for Siremar and renamed Nerea, Pietro Mondello hit the water. Pietro Mondello is also part of the fleet renewal plan launched by the Italian group and is the second of five ships worth 250 million euros. In addition to the ferry that will operate on both sides of the Strait of Messina, three more ships are planned to be built in the coming years.
The latest Pietro Mondello, which stands out with a large battery pack of 2 MWh power, has the capacity to carry 1,500 passengers and 290 vehicles. (News at Sea)
