MS Stena Edda explained

MS Stena Edda is a passenger and vehicle RoPax ferry operated by Stena Line between Birkenhead and Belfast.

History

The second of the E-Flexer-class ferries, the ship was constructed at the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in China. The ship was floated on 15 April 2019,[1] and delivered to Stena at Weihai on 15 January 2020.[2]

After conducting berthing trials at Belfast Harbour in February 2020,[3] the ship began its maiden commercial voyage on 9 March 2020, completing it the following day.[4] [5]

Stena Edda is a replacement for Stena Lagan. Stena Lagan was transferred to operate between Nynäshamn and Ventspils on the Baltic Sea, following a rebuild and renaming as Stena Scandica.[6]
