Marine Atlantic charterer frry from Stena Line
Marine Atlantic' announced on Jan 6, 2026, to have has entered into a five-year charter agreement with Stena to charter the 'A Nepita', an ice-class rated ferry, which was most recently operated by Corsica Linea on the Marseilles-Corsica route. The ship is equipped with three bow thrusters, and designed to transport both passenger and commercial vehicles. The vessel will enable the organisation to increase the overall capacity available on the ferry service. It is equipped with cabins, restaurants, and seating areas providing customers with amenities like other vessels currently in the fleet. The 'A Nepita' will undergo modifications to enable her to integrate with Marine Atlantic’s docking infrastructure and has been scheduled to arrive in Canada during summer 2026. Upon its arrival, MArine Atlantic planned to conduct the required integration and crew familiarisation activities, with the goal of the ferry being ready to enter service in fall.
Stena ferry to be converted back to overnight ferry
The 'Stena Superfast X' has left Belfast for Piraeus in the evening of March 3, 2020, for a refit and conversion back into an overnight ferry. The last commercial voyage for Stena Line was the 11:30 a.m. sailing from Cairnryan. The ferry has been chartered to Corsica Linea and will be renamed 'A Nepita'. In Piraeus she will be fitted with around 100 additional cabins on Deck 8 and transformed back into a night ferry. She was originally conceived and built as an overnight ferry for Superfast Ferries. The Corsica Linea charter is a long-term arrangement with Stena Line sister company Stena RoRo. The deal is also thought to include an option to purchase the vessel outright. She was replaced in the Stena Line fleet by the 'Stena Estrid' in January. Since then she has acted as a relief vessel on the Belfast – Cairnryan, Rosslare – Cherbourg, and Dublin – Holyhead routes. She originally joined Stena Line in 2015 as a replacement for the 'Stena Nordica' on the Dublin – Holyhead route. The ‘Stena Nordica’ no longer had sufficient passenger capacity for the route she served, especially after Stena Line terminated the seasonal Dun Laoghaire – Holyhead HSS service.
Stena celebrates 20th anniversary of Dublin to Holyhead route
The anniversary was celebrated in Dublin Port with model and presenter Vogue Williams posing for photos on the company's Superfast X ship."The demand for this route has grown significantly since November 1995 and we now travel from Dublin to Holyhead and back four times daily," said Orla Noonan, Head of Travel at Stena Line Ireland. 20 isn't the only number circulated in a press release marking the occasion. In two decades, Stena has operated 39,000 sailings, carrying 8.9 million people on the route. Earlier this year, the company discontinued its seasonal service, which had run on the HSS Stena Explorer, between Dun Laoghaire and Holyhead. That service had also run since 1995. Stena Line Ireland has since looked to consolidate its services to and from Holyhead, and to expand its existing ferry service, at Dublin Port. Source: Irish Independent
