Last Thursday, 24 May 2018, we had the pleasure to sending an extra news flash, with the announcement from Brittany Ferries. Indeed, the French company revealed that they made an agreement with Stena RoRo for the bareboat charter of a second E-Flexer class of ferries.

Now Stena RoRo confirmed the fact that this is the sixth vessel in the series of 4+4 units, to be built in China at the AVIC International Shipyard.

Stena RoRo also confirmed that she would be the first LNG-powered ferry. Now the Swedish company still has two more options.

Last week we announced that DFDS is going to charter one of the Stena RoRo E-Flexers under construction in China. In fact the vessel is the fifth in the series, and Stena RoRo has a further three options on vessels for delivery from 2021 and onwards.

In 2016, Stena RoRo placed an order for four large ro-pax ferries with the Chinese shipyard AVIC International with an option for a further four vessels. The vessel now ordered is the fifth in the series.

From the first batch of four vessels, three will be operated by Stena Line on the Irish Sea, and one by Brittany Ferries.
