First, the 186-meter-long Stena Livia ferry will join the Stena Flavia ferry in mid-April and will run on the route Ninashamna-Ventspils. Later this year, both ferries will be diverted on the route Traveminde-Liepaja. This will increase the capacity on this route by 40%, as well as significantly reduce the journey time from 27 to 20 hours.
“We see that customer demand in the Baltic Sea region is growing. We are currently strengthening our position and offering to customers, supplementing it in 2021 with modern ferries that provide more capacity and a pleasant time on board on both routes to and from Latvia, ”says Johan Edelmans, the company’s sales director in the northern Baltic region.
Stena Livia was built in 2008 at the Italian shipyard Cantieri Navale Visentini. The RoPax ferry can accommodate 750 passengers, 200 cars and 115 trailers.
Stena Line already previously announced that in 2021 the existing ferries “Stena Gothica” and “Urd” on the route Traveminde-Liepaja will be replaced.
