Great to see that Scandlines' new zero direct emissions ferry is now afloat ⛴ She will be named Futura at a naming ceremony in connection with its deployment on the Fehmarn Belt in 2024. With Futura, we make it possible to travel without any direct emissions, as the ferry runs entirely on electricity. At the same time, we have a sharp focus on making the entire journey worth the time - so we have also worked to make the experience on board even better. We believe in a future for ferries, so of course we'll keep on sailing, also after the opening of the Fehmarn Belt fixed link. We invest in a multi-million euro electric ferry, because we have a responsibility to the world around us and because we are convinced that there is a need for journeys that don't just take place behind the wheel on the motorway. This applies to freight drivers, families on holiday and those who just want to go border shopping. #scandlines #zerodirectemissions #fehmarn https://lnkd.in/eRKKj7dD
