Elio

The Elio is an Italian-flagged, double-ended ferry operating since 2018. Designed with a low-resistance hull and equipped with dual-fuel engines, it utilises liquefied natural gas (LNG) to minimize its environmental footprint. The vessel features two car decks and is engineered for efficient loading and unloading, making it a vital link across the Strait of Messina between Sicily and mainland Italy. Its design includes an anti-roll tank to enhance passenger comfort during the voyage.
