history

The Stena Carisma in August 2014 at the Stena Line terminal in Gothenburg.

In the mid-1990s Stena Line faced competition from SeaCat on the Frederikshavn - Gothenburg route . The addition of high-speed ferries to the conventional ferries made sense. Initially, the route was served by the Stena Lynx . Stena Line ordered two high-speed ferries of the type HSS 900 (High Speed ​​Service for 900 Passengers) for the route , which were built at the Westamarin shipyard . The second ferry, however, was scrapped again before completion because the shipyard was insolvent. The Stena Carisa was completed at West Bygg .

The Stena Carisma was laid down on September 27, 1995. The launch took place on June 29, 1996. On June 1, 1997 the ship was completed and then put into service.

For cost reasons, which was Stena Carisma withdrawn and on August 19, 2013. their route in Gothenburg launched .
