Stena RoRo orders new-generation E-Flexer vessels at CMI Weihai, marking decade-long partnership
Stena RoRo has, on behalf of Stena Line, designed and ordered two E-Flexer 2.0 RoPax vessels, with options for two additional vessels, from the Chinese shipyard China Merchants Shipbuilding Industry (CMI) Weihai in China.
The E-Flexer series currently comprises 17 vessels specifically designed to offer a high degree of flexibility and cost efficiency, while allowing adaptation to a wide range of ferry routes around the world.
The vessels now on order represent the next generation of passenger ferries, offering significant capacity for both passengers and rolling cargo.
The new vessel series, designated E-Flexer 2.0, has been specifically designed to enable future operation solely on battery power. For this concept, Stena RoRo has chosen to introduce a diesel-electric propulsion system, with dedicated spaces on board prepared for up to 85 MWh of battery capacity.
The two new ferries will enter service on Stena Line’s route between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn, Denmark, in 2030.
“We have developed these state-of-the-art vessels together with Stena Line, enabling the future provision of completely fossil-free transport of passengers and cargo between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn,” says Per Westling, CEO of Stena RoRo AB.
“I am convinced that this vessel design will be developed further to suit a wide range of ferry routes. With our new battery concept, we are adding yet another dimension to our already highly flexible E-Flexer concept,” Per Westling adds.
