In a significant milestone for the maritime industry, China has unveiled its first dual-fuel luxury roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) passenger vessel, the GNV·VIRGO. The vessel was officially delivered during a naming ceremony held in Guangzhou’s Nansha district, Guangdong province, on Thursday, October 23, 2025. Constructed by Guangzhou Shipyard International, a subsidiary of the state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), the GNV·VIRGO represents a leap forward in sustainable and luxurious maritime travel. Designed specifically for Italian ferry operator Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV), a key player under the MSC Group, the vessel combines cutting-edge green technology with opulent amenities. The dual-fuel capability allows the ship to operate on both traditional marine fuels and cleaner alternatives, significantly reducing its environmental footprint. This delivery underscores China’s growing prowess in advanced shipbuilding and its commitment to fostering international partnerships in the global shipping industry. The GNV·VIRGO is expected to set new standards for eco-friendly and high-end passenger vessels, catering to the increasing demand for sustainable travel solutions.
