Stena RoRo's E-Flexer Galicia delivered to Brittany Ferries - with higher passenger capacity thanks to flexible construction
"This is a significant milestone in our fleet renewal planning and we are delighted that we will shortly be welcoming to the Brittany Ferries family. The E-flexer class of ships are well suited to our long-haul routes. I am convinced that passengers will be as thrilled to travel on them as we are to take delivery of today", says Christophe Mathieu CEO Brittany Ferries .
Stena RoRo has an agreement with Brittany Ferries for long-term charters of two more vessels in the Stena E-Flexer series. Both will be powered by LNG, are under construction and will be delivered in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Brittany Ferries and Stena RoRo are also taking the opportunity to jointly make a donation to The Mission to Seafarers' Flying Angel Campaign supporting seafarers needs as a result of Covid-19.
The Stena E-Flexer vessels combine cargo and passenger capabilities, and are substantially larger than today's standard ferries. The Stena E-Flexer class is at the forefront in terms of sustainability and sets a new standard in terms of emissions, cost and energy efficiency, as well as performance.
