Emission-free on the Baltic Sea


Ferry operator Scandlines has signed a contract with the Turkish shipyard Cemre for the construction of an emission-free cargo ferry to be deployed on the Puttgarden-Rødby route.

 

The ferry is scheduled to begin operating between Germany and Denmark in 2024. It will have a capacity of 66 cargo units; increasing the current capacity by 23%.

 

With a crossing time of one hour, the ferry will be emission-free. It will also have a hybrid fuel system, just as the vessels that currently ply Scandlines' routes between Germany and Denmark. As the ferries on the Rostock-Gedser route, the new vessel will be able to carry trucks on both the upper and lower decks. (sh)
