The shore power system will be powered by wind and solar energy, DFDS said in a social media post.

It is estimated that using this system will reduce around 2,100-2,300 mt/year of well-to-wake CO2 emissions for docked ships that are compatible with this system, as opposed to using diesel-powered generators, DFDS claimed.
