The 50k m2-big container terminal, offering a yearly handling capacity of 50k TEUs, has begun operating in the Danish Port of Kalundborg's Ny Vesthavn.
The 2003-built ferry, which serves the weeklong North Atlantic Cruise, has been fitted with 50 new luxury cabins as well as a new outdoors sky bar and a panoramic view lounge on the top.
The route served by DFDS not only offers now six weekly sailings, Monday-through-Saturday, but the transit time has been reduced to 19 hours and all departures take place in the evenings.
Quay 712 at the Ro-Ro Terminal will soon offer high voltage (10.7 kW, 1.5 MW at 50 Hz) power supply, with DFDS' Flandria Seaways scheduled as the first to make use of it.
The Danes will deepen the canal down to 15 metres in order to increase the permissible vessel draught to 13.8 m from the northern part of the port up to the Malku Bay.
Alfa Laval, DTU Energy, Haldor Topsøe, Svitzer, and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping have launched a joint project to accelerate the development of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology for marine applications.
