£9m makeover for Stena Line’s Irish fleet

Stena Line is giving its Irish Sea fleet a £9million makeover.

At a time when travel companies across the globe are implementing cutbacks, Stena Line is spending millions on the refit and refurbishment of ships across its five Irish Sea routes.

imageThe Stena Caledonia, pictured, which operates on the Stranraer-Belfast route, has been in dry dock at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast undergoing a £1 million refit. It’s the last of eight ships which have been given makeovers in the past three months.

Stena Line’s Irish Sea area director Michael McGrath believes the investment reflects the ferry company’s ongoing commitment to improving its fleet and services.

“We are continually investing in our product to exceed customer expectations and give them a pleasurable and comfortable travelling experience,” he said.

“We’ve never been a company to rest on its laurels and this investment in our Irish Sea fleet reflects a desire to continually improve in terms of quality and service reliability.”

Highlights of Stena Line’s makeover programme include

  • £2million refit and refurbishment of the Stena Nordica superferry, which sails between Holyhead and Dublin Port
  • £2.1million on the Stena Europe superferry, which operates between Fishguard and Rosslare
  • £2million on the Stena Lynx III fastcraft, which sails between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire
