Conros – ships that carry containers, vehicles and other rolling cargo – are an endangered and ageing vessel species.

Italy’s Grimaldi last week took delivery of the 47,528 dwt Great Antwerp, the first brand new conro to come out of any yard in the world for six years, according to Alphaliner.

Grimaldi, Linea Messina and the Bahri are the only three carriers left operating conro tonnage on long distance routes with Alphaliner data showing the combined fleets of these three conro operators represents just 0.5% of the total liner fleet.
