Scheduled for spring 2015 delivery, the two ships are intended for the route between Rostock (Germany) and Gedser (Denmark), but the design will allow them to be used between Puttgarden (Germany) and R\u00f8dby (Denmark) as well. Each ferry will have a capacity of 1,300 passengers and 72 trucks or 382 cars. Operation on LNG instead of HFO will result in significant reductions of nitrogen, CO2 and particulate emissions, with sulphur emissions at practically zero.<\/p>\n
