Stena RoRo continues to expand its ropax fleet, having committed to another newbuild from Chinese shipyard AVIC International.

The Swedish owner signed a contract for a ninth Stena E-Flexer vessel, adding to an order of eight such vessels with the option for two more.

The ship, which will operate on LNG and have 2,750 lane metres of capacity, has been assigned for a long-term charter with Brittany Ferries.
