Stena Line is introducing its second large E-Flexer class vessels, ‘Stena Ebba’, which from December 2022 will join sister ‘Stena Estelle’ on the route Karlskrona-Gdynia.
The twin ferries are the two largest of the E-Flexer class of Stena Line and have an increased capacity of 50% more cabins, 30% more passengers and 15% more cargo vs existing E-Flexer vessels.
Niclas Mårtensson, CEO Stena Line, said: “The southern Baltic Sea is a key region for Stena Line and our route Karlskrona-Gdynia is a backbone for our ambition to grow and expand further. Stena Ebba, together with the twin vessel Stena Estelle, will set new standards of flexibility, service orientation and customer satisfaction. They are the largest vessels in our successful E-Flexer fleet, and we are proud and excited to soon having Stena Ebba and Stena Estelle connecting some of the most dynamic markets in Europe.”
At 240m in length, Stena Ebba and Stena Estelle are 36m longer than Stena Edda, Stena Embla and Stena Estrid, the other three E-Flexers operated by Stena Line. The two new E-Flexers both have a capacity of 3,600 lane metres and provide space for 1,200 passengers, being equipped to meet the growing demand for the transport of freight and passengers in between Poland and Sweden. Like all E-Flexers, Stena Ebba and Stena Estelle have optimised design of hulls, propellers and rudders for maximum efficiency, while being adaptable to an alternative fuel setup in the future.
With the two large E-Flexers, Stena Line continues its expansion in the Baltic Sea.
