Yesterday, AIDAdiva of @aida_cruises called our terminal in Visby, and today AIDAmar marked the end of the main cruise season here on Gotland! 🛳️ It was AIDAmar that actually kicked off this year's cruise season in April in Visby, so it's fitting she also brings it to a close. ⚓ Looking ahead, we're excited to welcome five cruise ships to Visby in December, giving guests a special chance to explore the island's beauty in winter. ❄️

Copenhagen is lucky to be the home port of @skoleskibetgeorgstage and we at CMP are honoured to have had the ship at our facilities at Nordre Toldbod this week! Georg Stage will depart later today. ⚓🌊 On this #worldmaritimeday, it is a pleasure to see Georg Stage sail on to continue the education of the next generation of maritime professionals💪 It is a very different Copenhagen that Georg Stage has called home since 1882 and today. One important constant is the importance of the maritime industry and seafarers to the city and country, as well as the commercial port supporting Copenhagen’s growth and development. ⚓

Georg Stage training ship at Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen ⚓ The training ship Georg Stage will be moored at CMP’s facilities at Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen from 24 to 26 September 2024. The Georg Stage’s call at Nordre Toldbod emphasises the connection between the city of Copenhagen and its commercial port, the training of future seafarers, and the preservation of the strong and vibrant maritime tradition in Copenhagen and Denmark. The Georg Stage is the world’s oldest sailing civilian maritime school and the model for all the sailing maritime schools that have been established around the world over the years. Today, it is one of only two schools globally that provide young people with a professional maritime education on-board a sailing ship. “For Copenhagen as a commercial port and CMP as a maritime workplace, it is a great honour to be able to welcome the world’s oldest sailing maritime school, the Georg Stage, to the quays at Nordre Toldbod. As a training ship, Georg Stage is crucial for ensuring the continuing supply of skilled maritime graduates to shipping companies and other maritime employers,” remarks Barbara Scheel Agersnap, CEO, Copenhagen Malmö Port. Today, the public is invited to an open-ship event from 18:00 to 20:00, offering visitors the chance to explore the ship and learn more about its history and mission. 🚢 #cmport #copenhagen

⚓CMP Achieves Fossil-Free Fuel Milestone at Copenhagen Container Terminal! 🌱 We are thrilled to announce that Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) has fully phased in the renewable fossil-free fuel HVO100 (hydrogenated vegetable oil) at our container terminal in Copenhagen. This significant achievement means our container handling operations are now entirely fossil-free, reducing our annual fossil diesel consumption by over 286,000 litres and CO2e emissions by 640 tonnes. The Copenhagen container terminal is vital for consumers and businesses in the Copenhagen metropolitan area and Zealand at large, handling the majority of containers for the eastern part of Denmark. From 2020 to 2023, we have already reduced our CO2 emissions by 68%, equivalent to an annual reduction of 1,477 tonnes of CO2e. In Malmö, the deployment of HVO100 has cut our emissions by over 840 tonnes CO2e annually. 💪
