Naming ceremony held for Scandlines COPENHAGEN
FerryThe second of the two new hybrid ferries, COPENHAGEN, was officially given its name in a ceremony on Friday the 28th on the FAYARD yard in Denmark. COPENHAGEN and its sister ship, BERLIN, will service the route Gedser-Rostock, between Denmark and Germany. COPENHAGEN is expected to go in service before the year ends.
Søren Poulsgaard Jensen, CEO of Scandlines said; "It has been interesting, challenging and sometimes frustrating to be part of this project. On the other hand: we have all had to do our best to succeed," said. "All the more so, I am immensely proud to be able to welcome everyone on board our new ferry, even though I know there is still some finishing to be done so it will take yet a few weeks before the ferry goes into service."
