Powered by the wind

Since 2013, we have operated with environmentally friendly hybrid technology. In 2020, we installed a rotor sail on M/V Copenhagen, which operates our route between Rostock in Germany and Gedser in Denmark. With that, we added environmentally friendly wind power technology to the list of green initi
