Grandi Navi Veloci (“GNV”) is a leading Italian shipping company active both in the passenger and freight maritime transportation on Mediterranean routes. Founded by Aldo Grimaldi in 1992, the company was the first to enter into the Mediterranean ferry boats market known as cruise ferry, provided with a higher charging capacity and speed, with top-level interiors typical of cruise ships. GNV operates throughout long distance Mediterranean routes, with a focus on links between Northern Italy, Sardinia (Genoa-Porto Torres), Sicily (Genoa-Palermo and Rome-Palermo) and Malta. In addition, it connects Italy and Spain (Barcelona), Tunisia (Tunisi), and Morocco (Tangier). www3.gnv.it
