Stena Line’s newest ship arrives in Belfast
Stena Line’s newest addition to its fleet, the Stena Embla has arrived in Belfast.
Stena Embla arrived in Belfast on 2 January and will complete preparatory works before going into commercial service on the Belfast to Liverpool route later this month, joining sister vessel Stena Edda, which launched on the same route in March 2020.
With capacity to carry 1,000 passengers, 120 cars and 3,100 freight lane meters, Stena Embla will increase the Belfast to Liverpool freight capacity by 20% and raise passenger capacity by 33%.
Paul Grant, Stena Line’s Irish Sea Trade Director, said: "The arrival in Belfast of our newly built Stena Embla is yet another important milestone in the ongoing enhancement programme of our Irish Sea services. We have now invested more than £400m in our ferries and port facilities on the Irish Sea in recent years."
"The Belfast-Liverpool route is one of the most popular Irish Sea crossings for both freight and leisure traffic so having a second vessel of the calibre of Stena Embla, with a host of high-quality passenger facilities, will further increase its appeal and expand our capacity."
Stena Embla will make one daily return trip between Belfast and Liverpool.
