Rostock - Gedser ferries: fleet

Ferry operator Scandlines has the world's largest fleet of hybrid-powered ferries. The Rostock - Gedser route is regularly served by two modern hybrid vessels. They are the sister ferries M/F Berlin and M/F Copenhagen. The reserve ferry on this route is the M/F Kronprins Frederik, which usually operates with cargo on the Rødby - Puttgarden route.

The M/F Berlin and M/F Copenhagen have been operating between Rostock and Gedser since 2016. Both ferries have been adapted to operate in the shallow waters that lie between Germany and Denmark. The ferries' hybrid propulsion system is more environmentally friendly, compared to traditional propulsion. The hull shape of both vessels is designed to reduce fuel consumption. The M/F Copenhagen has a rotor (spinning cylinder), which is used like a sail. This additional design makes the ferry even more environmentally friendly.

Listed below are the basic parameters of the M/F Berlin and M/F Copenhagen ferries:

  • Maximum length - 169.50 m
  • Maximum width - 25.40 m
  • Speed - 21 knots, or about 39 km/h
  • Maximum number of passengers - 1,300 people
  • Maximum cargo capacity - 96 trucks or 460 passenger cars
  • Number of decks for motor vehicles - 2
