Stena orders E-flexers for Sweden-Denmark route

[ September 24, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Stena Line is has placed an order for two new hybrid E-Flexer ferries, scheduled to enter service in 2030 on itsGothenburg–Frederikshavn route between Sweden and Denmark.

The two ro pax ferries will have capacity for 1,500 passengers and 2,750 lane metres of freight and will feature the latest hybrid propulsion technology, allowing them to operate on both conventional fuel and electricity. They will also be prepared for conversion to 100% electric operation once the necessary charging infrastructure is in place.

The two new vessels will become the sixth and seventh E-Flexers in Stena Line’s fleet. The first entered service in 2019, and today three E-Flexers operate on the Irish Sea and two between Sweden and Poland.

The vessels will be built at the China Merchants Industry Weihai Shipyard in China, which has so far built 15 E-Flexers.
