Zeit ist Geld - alle 40 Minuten legt ein Fährschiff ab
Schon vor dem Anlegen öffnet die Fähre ihre Luke zum schnellen Ent- und Beladen der Lkws und Pkws am Fährhafen Puttgarden auf Fehmarn!

Even before docking, the ferry opens its hatch to quickly unload trucks and cars at the Puttgarden ferry port on Fehmarn!
Das Fährschiff "Berlin" (IMO 9587855) bei der Ausfahrt aus dem Rostocker Überseehafen.
Die "Berlin" wurde 2016 von Scandlines in Betrieb genommen und wird auf der Verbindung von Rostock ins dänische Gedser eingesetzt. Das Schiff verfügt über einen Hybrid-Antrieb aus Dieselmotoren und einem elektrischen Generator. Im Frühjahr 2022 wurde zusätzlich ein 30 Meter hoher Flettner-Rotor installiert, welcher die CO2-Emissionen um bis zu 5% senkt.
Solche Rotorsegler gehen auf den deutschen Erfinder Anton Flettner zurück. Er entwickelte bereits in den 1920er Jahren einen der Windströmung ausgesetzten rotierenden Zylinder, der wie ein Segel wirkt und eine Kraft quer zur Anströmung erzeugt. Allerdings funktioniert das Ganze natürlich nicht bei Windstille und ist deshalb als alleiniger Antrieb nicht geeignet. Nachdem das Prinzip in den letzten Jahrzehnten nur versuchsweise auf einzelnen Schiffen eingesetzt wurde, findet in den letzten Jahren eine verstärkte Anwendung statt.

The Woolwich Ferry chugs along the Thames with a cheerful hum, showcasing the new hybrid ship, the Dame Vera Lynn, on its southern side route. This eco-friendly beauty, with its sleek blue and white design, is a nod to London’s commitment to greener waters. As it glides past, you can almost hear the faint echo of wartime melodies, a playful tribute to the legendary singer it’s named after, bringing a bit of nostalgia to the modern skyline!
In the background, London’s skyscrapers pierce the cloudy sky, a stunning contrast to the sturdy ferry terminal. The Dame Vera Lynn seems to wink at the towering giants, as if to say, “I may be hybrid, but I’ve got soul!” Passengers onboard might just break into a spontaneous sing-along, imagining Vera’s voice carrying over the waves, while the city’s hustle-bustle adds a lively backdrop to this charming maritime scene.
With the new hybrid tech, this ferry is not just a ride but a gentle revolution on the river. The Dame Vera Lynn promises a smoother, quieter journey, letting you enjoy the view of London’s evolving skyline without the usual engine roar. It’s a delightful blend of history, innovation, and a touch of British whimsy—perfect for a scenic trip across the Thames!

________________________________________________
The launch of Calmac's new 'green' Hybrid Ferry 'Hallaig' into the lower Clyde. Virtually seconds after she left her slip for the very first time , to the cheers of the onlookers and dignitories , she hits her natural element and fingers-crossed she would stay afloat!!. Surrounded by four tugs , the powerless ship was quickly brought under control.
Her entry into the Raasay-Sconser Route was delayed until October 2013.
A second & third ship of the 'Scottish Literature' Class have since been launched from Fergusons , 'Locninvar' & 'Catriona' - both are now In-Service.
IMO 9652832
