Stena Seabridger MkII is a two-unit class of Ro-Ro ferries operated by Stena Line . The ships are based on the previous class , but have a fourth ro-ro deck and thus a greater capacity. The design of the previous class was revised by Steen Friis Design.
history
The ships ordered in 2007 and delivered in 2011 were built for Stena Line by Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje , South Korea . Both ships are used on the Hoek van Holland – Killingholme route. The passage takes around eleven hours.
The ships replaced the previous structures used on the route, which were chartered to the Canadian shipping company Marine Atlantic for use between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland . Since the ships had to be extensively converted for their new use, they were taken out of service at the beginning of October 2010 and temporarily replaced by charter ships, the Coraggio and the Finnarrow .
The Stena Transporter was temporarily used in October and November 2016 on the Hoek van Holland– Harwich route.
