Molslinjen, Denmark’s largest domestic ferry operator under Nordic Ferry Infrastructure, is pursuing greener ferry operations by joining the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to help limit global warming. CEO Kristian Durhuus stated that Molslinjen aims to be part of the solution to global climate challenges, targeting completely emission-free operations by 2040.
The company is electrifying its ferry operations, with an electric ferry already built for the Fanø Line (photo), and new electric ferries under construction for the Samsø and Als Lines. Ferries with some of the world’s largest batteries are currently operating on the Öresund Line. Efforts are also underway to electrify the Kattegat and Bornholm lines using various technologies, including a mechanical battery with a flywheel developed by WattsUp Power, a company Molslinjen has invested in.
