Stena Line to invest €16m in its Irish Sea fleet

Stena Line is to invest €16 million in the ongoing refit and upgrades of its Irish Sea fleet. The group’s Irish Sea fleet comprises 11 vessels operating on crossings from Belfast to Cairnryan, Birkenhead (Liverpool) and Heysham; Dublin to Birkenhead and Holyhead; as well as Rosslare to Fishguard.

Stena Line said the investment would enable a “wide range of enhancements and modernisation” across the fleet.

These include extensive cabin improvements; an increased number of pet-friendly cabins; enhanced Stena Plus lounges; and upgraded family entertainment areas.

Stena Line’s Irish Sea fleet manager, Mark Scouler, said: “This investment demonstrates our dedication to delivering the highest standards of safety, efficiency, comfort and reliability for our customers.

“By upgrading and modernising our vessels, we ensure that Stena Line remains the leader for the Irish Sea freight and travel market. We continually seek to invest in our vessels and provide a premium sustainable service for all our customers.”
