Scandlines Ferry on 'Weight Reduction'

The new Scandlines ferry M/V Berlin has been on a strict diet at the Danish shipyard FAYARD. A recently completed lightweight survey shows that the weight of the vessel has been reduced by 1,100 tons.

After the successful weight reduction, both draught, load capacity and stability are now back to the level indicated in the specifications for the shipyard P+S WERFTEN in Stralsund, Germany.

The vessel is currently undergoing a comprehensive and time-consuming test programme.

The test programme is proceeding as planned, and Scandlines expects M/V Berlin to go into operation before Easter.
