Stena Line har chartret RoRo færgen BORE SONG. Den vil afløse RoPax færgen STENA HORIZON på deres nye fragtrute mellem Birkenhead (Liverpool) og Dublin, som Stena Line åbnede d. 15. februar. Dermed kan STENA HORIZON komme tilbage til dens oprindelige rute mellem Rosslare og Cherbourg.
“Since we announced our plans to launch our Dublin-Liverpool service in December, we have been searching for a long-term freight only ship solution, and we’re delighted to have secured the BORE SONG to serve on the route until at least the end of the year.”
Paul Grant, Trade Director Irish Sea, Stena Line.
BORE SONG forventes at være klar til indsættelse på ruten midt i april, og det vil dermed betyde at ruten får øget dens fragtkapacitet med ca. 30%. Stena Line vil derfor også tilføje 200 ekstra pladser til trailer ved færgeterminalen i Birkenhead.
“The extra capacity offered by Bore Song will be welcomed by the market. The service has had a strong start and we anticipate further growth in the coming months. Coupled with the expansion of our port operations in Birkenhead and our long-term agreement with Peel Ports, we’re investing significantly in the future of our seventh service across the Irish Sea.”
Paul Grant, Trade Director Irish Sea, Stena Line.
Chartreaftalen på BORE SONG løber i første omgang til udgangen af 2024.
