Scandlines aims for zero
Baltic ro-pax group steps up emissions-reduction strategy between Germany and Denmark.
Baltic ro-pax group Scandlines has taken another step towards eliminating emissions on its service between Germany and Denmark.
The “near coast zero emission ferry link” to Rostock using two eco-newbuildings will now also benefit from a wastewater treatment plant in Gedser.
It will process water coming from cleaning exhaust gases with closed-loop scrubbers.
The facility will be up and running in spring 2016.
“In order to contribute to the prevention of the fragile ecosystem of the Baltic Sea, Scandlines are not only cleaning the exhaust gases, but now also operates a full treatment plant of the scrubber water,” it said.
