#FerryTrio – A total of three Stena ferries docked in Rosslare Harbour at the same time last week, reports the Wexford People. This was the first time the company has simultaneously had so many of its ships in the Europort.

Ian Davies, Route Manager, Irish Sea South, Stena Line, said: 'The Stena Europe, Stena Horizon and Stena Flavia took over three berths of Rosslare Europort as we prepared for the £4.4m refit of our Irish Sea fleet. The Stena Flavia arrived in port on Tuesday, January 12, to provide cover for the Stena Horizon on the Rosslare to Cherbourg route which has now sailed to Harland and Wolff in Belfast for its annual refit.'

Over the next two months as reported on Afloat,ie, seven Stena Line vessels, will visit Harland & Wolff in Belfast on a carefully sequenced timetable to facilitate a range of specialist works including annual inspections, passenger facility upgrade work as well as ongoing technical enhancements.

The Stena Flavia has already began sailing on the Rosslare to Cherbourg route replacing Stena Horizon, until March 6. Afloat adds the former Celtic Link Ferries operation was acquired by Stena in 2014 with the transfer of Celtic Horizon to the operator. 

Stena Horizon has been at the Belfast yard since January 14 and afterwards will cover the Dublin to Holyhead route in place of Stena Superfast X and Stena Adventurer dockings until around March 6.
