These upgrade works are necessary to provide permanent Brexit infrastructure at Rosslare Europort to ensure compliance with EU Customs, sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and official food controls legislation, thereby providing protection for the EU single market.

The proposed Terminal 7 development at Rosslare, includes the redevelopment of the existing site and the demolition of a number of existing buildings to facilitate the construction of a new border control post (BCP) consisting of a number of new buildings and associated external site infrastructure.

The T7 facility will facilitate the processing and exit routes from the passenger and freight ferries that use Rosslare Europort.

Some relevant highlights from the annual review 2022:

 Stena Line: strong year with focus on sustainability and expansion

  • With continued expansion in several regions, and new vessels in operation, Stena Line noted another successful year in 2022.
  • “Our expansion is continuing. The major challenge is the green transition, where the new E-Flexer vessels are important pieces of the puzzle in achieving our goals,” comments Niclas Mårtensson, MD of Stena Line.
  • In 2022, Stena Line’s revenue increased by 42% to SEK 17.5 billion.
  • 33% share of total income of Stena AB
  • In 2022, Stena Line acquired a large area of land adjacent to the British port of Holyhead. The aim is to enlarge the port for future expansion of ferry traffic between Wales and Ireland.
  • Stena Line secured a long-term presence in Birkenhead/Liverpool through a contract that allows the company to continue to run and develop activities in the region until 2100. Stena Line has been operating the Liverpool–Belfast route since 2011, and this long-term contract opens up new opportunities for future expansion.

Stena RoRo: With delivery of new E-Flexer vessels and sale of a rebuilt vessel, Stena RoRo

recorded a record-high result for 2022 – both when it refers to the number of

transactions and results.

Per Westling, MD, Stena RoRo. “Investments in these vessels are extensive at over SEK 1 billion per ferry. But this is now paying off, as deliveries are starting to be ready and they go

directly into service, which results in a substantial cash flow for us. We’re also in dialogue with both Stena Line and a number of other shipping companies concerning orders for new E-Flexers, which we hope we’ll be able to land in the course of the coming year.”

  • Total Income: SEK 1,300 million (600)
  • 2% share of total income of Stena AB
