history
,_by_Klugschnacker_in_Wikipedia_(7).JPG)
On March 26, 2010 Scandlines announced the construction of the two structurally identical ships Berlin and Copenhagen . In 2012, they were supposed to replace the ferries Kronprins Frederik and Prins Joachim on the Rostock - Gedser route .
Both ferries were laid down on June 28, 2010 . On April 4, 2012 the Copenhagen was launched for the first time.
Completion, which was originally planned for spring 2012, has been postponed several times due to technical difficulties. Because they were too heavy due to construction defects, Scandlines did not accept the ferries and canceled the contracts on November 27, 2012. On January 31, 2014, Scandlines bought the two ferries from the now insolvent shipyard for EUR 31.6 million instead of the original EUR 184 million to have it converted at another shipyard. The Copenhagen was transferred to Hamburg in June 2014. After investigations at the Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg , the conversion took place at the Fayard shipyard in Munkebo near Odense in Denmark.
The Copenhagen was christened in Munkebo on October 28, 2016 and put into service on December 21, 2016. In January 2017, the injection nozzle system was adjusted.
Technical data and equipment
The 169-meter-long ferry Copenhagen offers space for up to 460 cars or 96 trucks on 1,600 lane meters . The passenger capacity is 1300 people. For catering there is a buffet restaurant, an à la carte restaurant, a cafeteria, a self-service restaurant as well as snack and drink machines on board.
Because the draft was originally too great , the ferry was converted for use on the Rostock – Gedser route. To reduce the weight, the two upper decks (8 and 9) were cut out and replaced with a narrower deck 8. The bridge and the crew areas were replaced by aluminum constructions.
The conversion was also converted to hybrid drive. Two diesel engines from Caterpillar with 4500 kW each generate electricity via generators, which is stored in batteries from the Canadian manufacturer Corvus Energy . The ability to call up full power quickly is particularly important when maneuvering in ports, while the batteries are charged during the crossing.
In May 2020, the Copenhagen was equipped with a 30 meter high rotor sail from Norsepower in Rostock's overseas port , in order to reduce CO 2 emissions by 4–5% by using wind power for propulsion .
Sister ship
Sister ship of Copenhagen is the Berlin , which was also built at Volkswerft Stralsund and converted at Fayard-Werft in Munkebo .
