The currently applicable restrictions on cruise ship disembarkation will be eased as of today, 20 August, so that both vaccinated and Covid-19 tested cruise passengers have the possibility to disembark in Denmark. This may give hope for a late summer with increased activity in the port of Copenhagen.
The cruise ship Vasco da Gama calls Copenhagen today with 350 fully vaccinated passengers, who will therefore have the opportunity to disembark and visit Copenhagen as the first cruise guests since 2019.
The work to establish a shore power facility at the DFDS ferry terminal in Copenhagen is in full swing. The initiative is a joint collaboration between CMP and DFDS, with the Swedish company Actemium as contractor and COWI as technical advisor. The facility is expected to be operational in late summer 2021 and will makes it possible for DFDS’ ferries to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Sweden’s first cruise ship call of the year where passengers will be able to leave the ship to visit Gothenburg, Visby and Stockholm will take place on 15th June. A joint collaboration of ports and regulatory authorities has made this cautious restart possible, sending a positive message both to international cruise shipping companies and to the Swedish tourism industry.
After a long, long wait, the first cruise ships of the season will arrive at our docks in Copenhagen this weekend. These are initially blue cruises, where passengers do not disembark but rather visit the city from the seaside. CMP has high expectations that cruise ship tourists soon will be allowed to visit the city again as part of the next phase of the gradual opening for travel activities.
€120 million for a full-scale CO2 capture facility is now almost within reach. ARC’s and CMP’s joint project has gone ahead in the elimination race for funds from the EU’s Innovation Fund.
With the C4 cluster, a number of major utility companies in the Copenhagen metropolitan area seek to make carbon capture a crucial element in the green transition in Denmark. CO2 reductions of around 3 million tonnes per year are possible, if the Danish Parliament shows the requisite political will.
COWI and Rambøll will become technical consultants for Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) in the upcoming development project in Ydre Nordhavn, Copenhagen.
A facility for the capture of CO2 will reduce emissions from the ARC by 500,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and can thus significantly contribute to the City of Copenhagen’s goal of becoming the world’s first capital city in the world to become carbon-neutral. CMP will become a central party in distributing the captured CO2 to ships that sail the CO2 to storage in old oil fields in the North Sea.
As an important step towards a smarter and more digital port, CMP has initiated a joint collaboration with TradeLens which will eventually make it possible to modernise manual workflows and procedures and ensure more seamless collaborations between actors within the logistics chain.
Malmö City is continuing to invest in strengthening Malmö as a port city and is presenting a master plan today which shows the city's long-term ambitions for Malmö port operations. The plan clarifies how the city would like the port in Malmö to develop over the next 30 years and how to work towards the overall objectives based on its role as port owner.
The Dutch logistics company Westerman Multimodal Logistics is establishing itself in the port in Malmö.A facility is being constructed here for transshipment of freight, for combi-traffic intended for rail, road and sea. It will be an important hub for a Northern European transport corridor.
Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) is one of Scandinavia’s largest port operators, and a full-service port in the Øresund region. We receive a vast variety of goods and have an infrastructure customised for all types of vessels.
