Scandlines owns the world’s largest fleet of hybrid ferries. Two of our six hybrid vessels operate on the Rostock-Gedser route. Thus, our newest ferries from 2016 operate between Rostock and Gedser. The two sister ferries were built as hybrid ferries in 2016 in order to reduce CO2-emissions. The vessels M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen are tailor-made for this route to optimize for shallow waters. Thus, the shape of the ship hull contributes to lowering fuel consumption. In 2020, we installed a rotor sail on board of M/V "Copenhagen" in order to make it even more environmentally friendly.
