The other Danish cruise port with shore power capabilities is Aarhus (since 2023). Shore power for cruise ships in Copenhagen will be available in 2024.

For the project were contracted Actemium SAS (Sweden, parent company VINCI Energies SA//design and building) and COWI AS (Denmark/technical advisor). Both ships were deployed on the Norway-Denmark route Oslo-Copenhagen. By this project (inaugurated on October 26, 2021), two DFDS-owned cruiseferries ( Crown Seaways and Pearl Seaways) were able to receive dockside electricity (from the city's power grid) when berthed. In early-October 2019, CMP and the Danish company DFDS Seaways signed a deal to construct a shoreside power facility. The newly allowed max LOA length for cruise ships in Port Malmo is 300 m (985 ft). However, there is a wind speed restriction during maiden ship visits - 29 kph (18 mph). The conclusion was that it is possible ships to maneuver in the cruise port at max speed 3 kn (5,6 kph / 3,5 mph) and side winds up to 36 kph (22 mph) without any pilot boat assistance. A total of 18 berthings (dockings) were performed. Simulations were conducted over several days with different types of vessels in different weather conditions and wind forces. In 2016-Q3 were carried out extensive simulations in Gothenburg Sweden in order to ascertain whether it's possible port Malmo to handle larger-sized vessels. There was a previous constraint on cruise liners visiting Malmo that limited the port calls to ships with LOA length not exceeding 240 m (787 ft). In April 2017, the Swedish Maritime Administration gave its permission to Copenhagen Malmo Port to receive large-sized cruise vessels in port Malmo. Copenhagen is also a significant port of call on Christmas cruises leaving from UK ports. Cruises leaving out of Copenhagen comprise ~45% of the ship calls. Among those are the round-trips to Norwegian Fjords (along the Norway's western coastline) and to Scandinavia and Russia (visiting ports in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Estonia, Russia). Copenhagen Malmo Port (abbrev CMP) is a major turnaround cruise port in Northern Europe and among the most popular departure ports for Baltic Sea itineraries.
