Stena has confirmed a ro-ro newbuilding order with the ship set for a long-term charter to DFDS.

The Danish owner announced yesterday it had signed a 10-year bareboat charter with Stena to boost its English Channel capacity – however, details of the ship were not known.

This morning Stena announced it had inked a fifth ship in the E-Flexer RoPax series at Avic International in China.
