Stena Estrid departs china for Irish sea
Stena Line’s newest ferry sets out on journey from China shipyard to Holyhead
STENA Line’s newest ferry Stena Estrid has departed the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in north-western China, bound for its new home on the Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland.
Stena Estrid is the first of five next generation Stena Line RoPax vesselsto be completed at the shipyard and is now en route to Wales from where it will start service in January on the Holyhead to Dublin route.
Manned by a much-reduced crew of 27, with no passengers on board, the ship will travel on a journey of well over 10,000 miles,
