“Stena Line to replace STENA EUROPE with STENA NORDICA on Fishguard – Rosslare route

Swedish ferry company Stena Line has confirmed its plans to secure the future stability of its Fishguard-Rosslare service by redeploying another ferry from its fleet. 

The STENA NORDICA, which has been operating in the Baltic Sea, is a familiar ship on the Irish Sea having provided temporary relief cover on several Irish Sea routes over the last few years. It is scheduled to replace the older STENA EUROPE  vessel in July.

The Company will now commence a formal consultation with the unions representing the crew of STENA EUROPE, which has operated on the route since 2002. A commitment has been given to ensure they will all be offered roles on the STENA NORDICA or other Stena Line vessels on the Irish Sea.”.
