Antifouling paint
DFDS' environmental policy
The previously used types of antifouling paints, which contained tin and emitted environmentally damaging heavy metals into the marine environment, are no longer permitted. DFDS is currently replacing its antifouling paint with a new type of silicone-based paint. This is not only environmentally friendly, but also reduces the ships' friction in the water, which in turn reduces energy consumption and emissions.
