Emanuele Grimaldi is in a hurry to take delivery of his newest series of high-spec ro-ros.

The Italian shipowner is offering Nanjing Jinling Shipyard $10,000 per day for early delivery of all 12 hybrid fuel ro-ros for the Mediterranean and Baltic trades.

The ro-ro giant disclosed in April that it had placed an order for six firm 64,000-gt, 7,800-lane-metre ships to be delivered in 2020.
