Stena Line plans increased capacity on Polish route

Stena Line wants to increase capacity on its Karlskrona Gdynia ferry route by next summer.

The Swedish operator's capacity on the route presently does not meet demand, company representatives said during a press conference in Kiel on 7 February.

While the two ferries presently deployed on the route (Stena Baltica and Stena Nordica) each handle 200 freight units, there is demand for 300 units.

The increased capacity would be needed by next summer. Two alternatives are being evaluated: either the deployment of a third ship on the route, or a replacement of the two present ships with larger vessels.

Stena Baltica, built in 1986 and extensively rebuilt last year, has capacity for 1,800 lanemeters and 2,400 passengers.

Stena Nordica has capacity for 1,950 lanemeters and 450 passengers. The vessel was built in 2000.
