In the end of July, RoRo Stena Foreteller will return to service on the Europoort/Rotterdam – Immingham route following a major rebuild and renovation.
The vessel has been fitted with a fourth vehicle deck on top of the existing three, increasing the number of lane meters from 3,000 to 4,000.
With a new additional cargo deck and a 30% increase in capacity, the vessel becomes more efficient and further reduces CO₂ emissions per cargo unit.
The vessel has also been equipped with a shore power connection system, which will reduce CO₂ emissions while in port.
Due to the additional deck, the wind exposed area has increased, placing greater demands on the vessel’s maneuverability and mooring. As a result, the bow thrusters have been upgraded for increased capacity, and additional mooring winches have been installed.
Minor repairs and preventive maintenance have also been carried out, and some onboard systems have been upgraded to newer versions. As part of the rebuild, Stena Line has also repainted the vessel.
Stena Forerunner, the sister ship of Stena Foreteller, will undergo the same rebuild starting at the end of the summer.
Stena RoRo has led the reconstruction of Stena Foreteller at the Chinese shipyard CMI
