Denmark's DFDS is bringing in a Stena RoRo newbuilding to boost its English Channel capacity.

The company said it had agreed a 10-year bareboat charter for a 3,100-lane-metre ro-pax due early in 2021.

This appears to be a new order, but no further details were given.

"The ferry will be tailored to DFDS' requirements for deployment on the Channel," it said.
