Scandlines' zero direct emissions ferry wraps up 2nd sea trials

A new ferry ordered by Danish ferry operator Scandlines, which operates free of direct emissions, has completed its second set of sea trials in the Sea of Marmara near Turkey and is now preparing for its journey home to the Fehmarnbelt.

As informed, the official naming and inauguration will take place upon arrival at the Fehmarnbelt later in 2025.

In close collaboration with Cemre Shipyard and under the close supervision of UK class society Lloyd’s Register, the ship has undergone intensive testing under realistic conditions, encompassing blackout simulations, advanced navigation systems, and automated safety tests.

”With our new zero direct emissions ferry, we are taking another big step towards a greener future for ferry transport. We combine sustainable technology with high capacity and efficient operations – for the benefit of both the environment and our customers,”Rasmus Nielsen, VP, Fleet and Administration at Scandlines, explained.

To remind, the 147.4-meter-long and 25.4-meter-wide newbuild wrapped up its first set of sea trials in Türkiye in May 2025.
