A steel cutting ceremony was held at the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in China on August 25. It marks the start of the construction of the first of four 3,100-lane-metre, 1,000-passenger, 175-cabin vessels ordered by Stena, all to be delivered in 2019-2020. Stena has an option for 4 more.
Driven by a strong growth in freight, Stena Line decided to add a 4th ship on its Sweden – Poland route. GUTE started to operate on Monday August 28.
The small, 865-lane-metre vessel is time-chartered from Gotlandsbolaget. Freight-only, she will be a complement to ro-pax ferries STENA VISION, STENA SPIRIT and STENA BALTICA
