In the event that the Master refuses to board the passenger for a justified reason, the Carrier shall only be required to reimburse the cost of the ticket.
14. EMBARKATION OF REDUCED MOBILITY PASSENGERS (PRM)
‘Disabled person’ or ‘person with reduced mobility’ (here indicated as PRMs) means any person whose mobility when using transport is reduced as a result of any physical disability (sensory or locomotor, permanent or temporary), intellectual disability or impairment, or any other cause of disability, or as a result of age, and whose situation needs appropriate attention and adaptation to his particular needs of the service made available to all passengers.
The same conditions applied for all the other passengers, when it comes to bookings and tickets, are valid for them too. The carrier and terminal operators will make every reasonable effort to ensure that assistance is provided in such a way that the PRM can embark, disembark and travel on the ship. However, if it is absolutely impossible to board for justified safety reasons and/or where the design of the passenger ship or the port infrastructure and equipment, including the port terminals, makes it impossible to embark, disembark or transport the person in question in safe or concretely feasible conditions, the PRM may be refused booking, the issuance of a ticket and/or denied boarding.
In case their embarkation is denied, they can choose between refund and an alternative transport solution. When PRMs book or buy a ticket or at least 48 hours before the departure, they should report in writing their specific needs for the accommodation, the seat, the services required or the need to bring medical equipment. The request for assistance must be sent to the Company by email to info@grimaldi.napoli.it or by fax at +39 081 5517716. For any other assistance, they have to inform the company at least 48h before departure.
Once arrived at the port, the PMR can go to the dedicated Grimaldi Lines PRM ASSISTANCE desk or reach directly the boarding yard by car with the hazard lights turned on, waiting for an attendant to provide the type of assistance he needs and indicate where to park the car on the garage deck, to reach more comfortably the elevators, providing the onboard wheelchair, if necessary.
Where strictly necessary, in accordance with article 8 of the Regulation (EU) No. 1177/2010 of 24 November 2010, carriers, travel agents and tour operators may require that a disabled person or person with reduced mobility be accompanied by another person who is capable of providing the assistance required by the disabled person or person with reduced mobility. As regards passenger services, such an accompanying person shall be carried free of charge.
In compliance with the applicable legislation and in particular pursuant to European Regulation no. 1177/2010 and of the European Regulation no. 392/2009, the Company ensures compensation for damage deriving from the loss or damage of mobility equipment or other specific equipment, used by people with disabilities or Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM), if the harmful event is attributable to fault or negligence of the Carrier.
In order to be able to request compensation for damages, passengers can send a written request to the Company via email at customer@grimaldi.napoli.it or by registered mail, fax and certified e-mail, possibly using the ” specific complaint form on the Company’s institutional website.
In case of need, the Company will make every effort to quickly provide adequate temporary replacement of the equipment.
The Hotel Manager or any other appointed person ensures the assistance to PRMs. Once the Hotel Manager has been informed that a PRM is expected on board, an adequate assistance will be arranged: from the embarkation to the disembarkation. The Hotel Manager will highlight the cabins reserved to the PRMs on the ship layout diagram and will give a copy of it to the Captain.
The crew personnel in charge of PRMs assistance must wear a white/blue band on the arm with ASSISTANCE written on it, in order to be easily recognized.
The ticket office ashore must provide the PRMs vehicle with a sticker, which can guarantee parking priority in the dedicated areas.
When boarding, such vehicles must be addressed as a priority towards the parking areas on board intended for them. The above areas allow full mobility of the PRMs and the easy access to passengers’ areas.
Before the arrival, the Hotel Manager must inform the destination port agent about all the PRMs needs for disembarkation and assistance ashore.
In case of emergency, the person indicated for the purpose will help the PRMs to reach the meeting place and the embarkation areas.
Ship decks can be easily reached by elevators provided with luminous keyboard, appropriate audio and keys for blind or partially-sighted passengers.
On board there are equipped cabins available for RMPs, in accordance with the current law. In the public areas, tactile guides highlight the paths that lead to the main on-board services. There are also restrooms dedicated and equipped for PRMs. Aboard the ships there are parking spaces reserved for PRMs, highlighted by identification plates and equipped with facilities for fixing wheelchairs.
To make the document containing a Summary of the provisions concerning the Rights of Passengers travelling by sea and inland waterway easily accessible to the PRM, a paper copy of the same is left in the cabin for them; if the PRM is blind or visually impaired, an audio recording containing the same content and a device on which this is recorded will be available at the reception of the ship. The methods for sending complaints are also clarified in the Summary document mentioned above.
The preceding is easily accessible through the direct link of the home page of the website www.grimaldi-lines.com.
15. DRIVERS
A driver means the driver of a commercial vehicle embarked on the vessel. There may be several drivers for a single vehicle. The passenger fare is set by the Grimaldi Commercial Office and must be included in the bill of lading, along with the driver’s name and surname.
The latter must be in possession of the ID documents required for the journey and disembarking in the country of destination. For SOLAS and Decree 13/10/1999 purposes, drivers are similar to passengers.
Each driver receives a regular boarding pass at check-in. Drivers must be assigned a seat in the cabin, providing ship availability.
Drivers are entitled to free board.
16. HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS
Passengers are accepted assuming they are in good health, both physical and mental. There is a first aid station and hospital/cabin on board.
17. INSURANCE
The shipowner and the Carrier have an insurance policy issued by the P & I Club only as regards their liability to third parties.
It is possible to subscribe a multi-risk insurance policy to cover medical costs, damages or loss of luggage, travel cancellation costs and more. For more details https://www.grimaldi-lines.com/it/assicurazione-nobis/
18. ACCOMPANIED VEHICLES
Passenger vehicles are considered as vehicles not containing goods for sale. A vehicle containing anything other than personal belongings is not permitted as an accompanied vehicle and must travel as a commodity. Should boarding be denied because the vehicle, which is included as a passenger accompanied vehicle, contains goods for sale, no refund will be recognised. Only one accompanied vehicle is permitted per passenger.
As for the extra height, i.e. the accommodation of luggage on the roof, it is no longer allowed for vans and campers directed toTunisi.
Tourist buses, trucks, trailers, lorries and jumbos with or without a driver must travel as cargo.
If the vehicle arriving for boarding has a booking code other than the one indicated on the ticket, the passenger loses the right to board (without refunding the ticket). The difference between the categories plus the change fee will have to be paid to be admitted on board the vessel.
The accompanied vehicle is boarded and disembarked by the passenger, who, when parked in the place indicated by the crew member, must take care to put the vehicle in gear and pull the handbrake. The vehicle must be locked. Access to the garage area remains categorically forbidden throughout the entire journey. Inoperable vehicles cannot be boarded and will have to travel as cargo.
At the time of embarkation, it is obligatory to declare whether the accompanied vehicle is equipped with a methane or LPG fuelling system. The vehicle methane fuel supply system must comply with all relevant regulations in force and this compliance must be duly certified in the registration booklet. During the time the vehicles are stowed on board, methane tank cut-off valves must remain closed.
The Passenger must be in possession of all the documents necessary for disembarking and customs clearance of the vehicle in the port of destination. The carrier cannot be held liable in case of incomplete documentation. All costs and expenses arising from the embarkation, disembarkation and customs clearance of the vehicle shall be borne by the passenger.
Any damage caused by the vehicle to the vessel and/or third parties must be compensated directly by the Passenger who caused them, or through his/her insurance. However, the Passenger may at any time be required to sign a liability declaration before disembarking from the vessel.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE RIGHTS OF PASSENGERS WHEN TRAVELLING BY SEA AND INLAND WATERWAY1
Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 concerning the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterway becomes applicable on 18 December 2012.It provides for a minimum set of rights for passengers travelling
” on passenger services where the port of embarkation is situated in a Member State,
” on passenger services operated by Union carriers from a port situated in a third country to a port situated in a Member State and
” on a cruise where the port of embarkation is situated in a Member State2.
The Regulation does however, not apply to certain categories of waterborne transport services3. Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 does not preclude passengers from claiming damages before national courts in accordance with national law in respect of individualised damages resulting from cancellation or delay of transport services.
Right to information
All passengers travelling by sea or inland waterways have the right to adequate information throughout their travel. That right includes the right to be informed on passenger rights and contact details of the national enforcement bodies, and on the conditions of access to transport for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility.
In the event of cancellation or delay in departure, passengers have the right to be informed of the delay or cancellation by the carrier or terminal operator no later than 30 minutes after the scheduled time of departure and of the estimated departure and arrival time as soon as that information becomes available.
Right to non-discriminatory contract conditions
All persons have the right not to be discriminated directly or indirectly based on their nationality or the place of the establishment of the carrier or ticket vendor within the Union when purchasing tickets of waterborne passenger transport services and cruises.
Right to care and assistance
In case of delay of more than 90 minutes or cancellation of a passenger service or cruise, and where reasonably possible, passengers shall be offered free of charge snacks, meals or refreshments in reasonable relation to the waiting time.
Where the delay or cancellation of a departure necessitates one or more additional nights of stay for the passenger, he or she shall be offered adequate accommodation free of charge on board or ashore by the carrier and transport to and from the port terminal to the place of accommodation. Where a carrier proves that the cancellation or delay is caused by weather conditions endangering the safe operation of the ship, he is relieved of the obligation to offer free accommodation.
The passenger is not entitled to assistance by the carrier, if he or she was informed of the cancellation or delay before the purchase of the ticket or where the cancellation or delay is caused by the fault of the passenger.
Right to re-routing and reimbursement in case of cancellation or delay of departure
In case of a delay of more than 90 minutes as compared to the scheduled time of departure or cancellation of a passenger service, passengers have a right to choose between
” re-routing to the final destination at no additional cost at the earliest opportunity under comparable conditions and
” reimbursement of the ticket price combined, where relevant, with a free of charge return service at the earliest opportunity to the first point of departure set out in the transport contract.
Right to request partial compensation of the ticket price in case of delay in arrival to the final destination
Passengers may request the compensation of 25% of the ticket price from the carrier, where the delay in arrival to the final destination exceeds
” 1 hour in case of a scheduled journey of up to 4 hours;
” 2 hours in case of a scheduled journey of more than 4 hours, but not exceeding 8 hours;
” 3 hours in case of a scheduled journey of more than 8 hours, but not exceeding 24 hours;
” 6 hours in case of a scheduled journey of more than 24 hours.
Passengers may request the compensation of 50% of the ticket price from the carrier, where the delay in arrival to the final destination exceeds
” 2 hours in case of a scheduled journey of up to 4 hours;
” 4 hours in case of a scheduled journey of more than 4 hours, but not exceeding 8 hours;
” 6 hours in case of a scheduled journey of more than 8 hours, but not exceeding 24 hours;
” 12 hours in case of a schedule journey of more than 24 hours.
The carrier is however relieved of the obligation to pay compensation to passengers in case of delay in arrival, if he proves that the delay resulted from weather conditions endangering the safe operation of the ship or from extraordinary circumstances hindering the performance of a passenger service which could not have been reasonably avoided.
Rights of disabled passengers and passengers with reduced mobility: besides the general passenger rights, disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility have the following rights when travelling by waterborne transport so as to provide them with a right to transport on an equal footing with other passengers:
(a) right to access to transport for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility without any discrimination
Carriers, travel agents and tour operators may not refuse to accept a reservation, to provide a ticket or to embark persons on the grounds of their disability or reduced mobility.
Where it is not possible to carry a disabled person or a person with reduced mobility on board a ship for safety reasons or due to the impossibility of embarkation resulting from the design of the ship or port infrastructure and equipment, carriers, travel agents and tour operators have to make all reasonable efforts to propose the person concerned an acceptable alternative transport. Disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility who hold a reservation, who have notified the carrier of their specific needs but are still denied boarding may choose between reimbursement and re-routing, the latter being conditional on the fulfilment of safety requirements.
Carriers, travel agents or tour operators may not ask disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility to pay a higher cost for reservations or tickets. Tickets and reservations shall be offered to the disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility under the same conditions as to other passengers.
The carriers and terminal operators shall have in place non-discriminatory access conditions for the transport of disabled persons, persons with reduced mobility and accompanying persons.
(b) right to special assistance
Disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility have the right to free of charge assistance by carriers and terminal operators in ports and on board ships, including with embarkation and disembarkation.
Disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility have to notify the carrier at the time of reservation or advance purchase of the ticket of their specific needs regarding accommodation, seating, required services or their need to bring medical equipment. For any other assistance the disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility need to notify the carrier or terminal operator at least 48 hours in advance and have to present themselves at an agreed time ahead of the published embarkation time at a designated point.
(c) right to compensation for loss of or damage to mobility equipment
Where a carrier or terminal operator has caused loss or damaged of mobility equipment or other specific equipment used by a disabled person or a person with reduced mobility due to his neglect or fault, he has to pay the disabled person or the person with reduced mobility a compensation corresponding to the replacement value of the equipment concerned or, where it is possible to repair that equipment, the costs relating to repairs.
Right to submit complaints to the carriers and national enforcement bodies (NEBs)
Passengers may submit complaints to the carriers and terminal operators within two months from the date on which the service was performed or when it should have been performed.
The carrier or terminal operator has to have a complaint handling system in place. Within that framework he has to notify the passenger within 1 month of receipt of the complaint whether he considers the complaint to be substantiated, rejected or still considered. The carrier or terminal operator has to provide the passenger with a final reply within 2 months of receipt of the complaint.
Passengers may submit complaints about alleged infringements of Regulation (EU) No1177/2010 to national enforcement bodies.
Enforcement of passenger rights by NEBs and comparable mechanisms
Within Member States the designated national enforcement bodies shall enforce the rights and obligations set out in Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 as regards passenger services and cruises from ports situated on the territory of that Member State and passenger services from a third country to such ports.
Where a Member State has decided to exempt passenger transport services covered by public service contracts or integrated services from the scope of application of the Regulation, it will need to ensure that a comparable mechanism of enforcement of passenger rights has been put in place.
The entity responsible of the application of the EU Regulation 1177/2010 is the ART (Authority of Transport regulation), with headquarters in Via Nizza, 230-10126 Torino
1 Summary drafted in accordance with Article 23(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010. This summary has no legal value.

After 18 months of issue, for unused vouchers, a refund of the amount paid is paid within fourteen days of expiry. The same refund can be requested by the passenger after 12 months of issue and is paid within fourteen days of the request.
