Stena is investing in a new route from Poland to Sweden: Gdynia-Nynäshamn.
The new line will commence operations on October 16, with three round trips a week.
The 18-hour crossing will be operated by 1,625 lane meter ro-ro ELISABETH RUSS.
Stena Line’s CEO Niclas Mårtensson said that the demand for freight capacity in the Baltic Sea has been growing steadily over the last number of years.
Stena Line has already been operating a route from Gdynia to Sweden for over 20 years, with Karlskrona as Swedish port.

Irish Ferries chooses W.B. YEATS as the name of its new ferry

By | 2017 Newsletter week 41 | No Comments

Irish Ferries’s new €144 million ferry will be christened W.B. YEATS, after Ireland’s most-loved poet.
The name was chosen after it had drawn ‘strong support’ from the public in a competition that attracted nearly 100,000 entries.
William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. The choice continues the tradition adopted by the company of selecting names drawn from the world of Irish literature.
