Stena RoRo is betting on an LNG-fueled future for shipping, with its first order for a gas-powered ropax for a European customer.

The vessel is the sixth in Stena's "E-Flexer" series of ropaxes, all on order at Avic Weihai. Stena says it has a further two options with the yard.

The vessel is expected to be delivered in autumn 2021.
