A new shore power facility was inaugurated today at the DFDS terminal in Copenhagen by, among others, Copenhagen’s Lord Mayor Lars Weiss. The facility significantly reduces the ships’ CO2 emissions while they are in port, thus ensuring cleaner air for the benefit of the environment and even more so for the neighbours on Østerbro. With the new facility, the DFDS ferries now have the possibility to connect to shore power in both Copenhagen and Oslo. The facility is the result of a partnership between Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) and DFDS, which makes it possible to switch off the ships’ generators in port and thereby significantly reduce the emission of air pollutants and particles.
