Stena Line invests £14m on Irish Sea fleet makeover

One of the world’s leading ferry company’s, Stena Line, is giving its Irish Sea fleet a makeover, to the tune of almost £14 million. At a time when travel companies across the globe are implementing cut-backs, Stena Line is spending millions on the refit and refurbishment of a total of 10 ships, across its five Irish Sea routes.

Stena Line route director Vic Goodwin believes that the investment reflects the ferry company’s ongoing commitment to improving its fleet and services.

“At Stena Line, we are continually investing in our product to exceed customer expectations and give them a pleasurable and comfortable travelling experience,” said Goodwin.

“We’ve never been a company to rest on its laurels and this investment in our Irish Sea fleet reflects a desire to continually improve in terms of quality and service reliability.

“The credit crunch has resulted in more people considering holidays within the British Isles, which is good news for the ferry industry. Therefore, it is vitally important that when new customers travel with us, we show them how much ferry travel has developed over the years and how pleasurable an experience it can be compared to flying,” Vic concluded.
