The Lithuanian shipping company AB Lisco Baltic Service,
in which DFDS has a stake of approximately 90%, has
purchased the ro-pax vessel STENA TRAVELLER from Stena
Rederi AB. The parties have agreed not to disclose the
price.
The STENA TRAVELLER was built in 1992, has a freight
capacity of 1,800 lane metres, room for 250 pas-sengers in
83 cabins and a service speed of 18 knots.
Lisco takes delivery of the STENA TRAVELLER today. She
will replace chartered tonnage on the Karl-shamn/Kleipeda
service mid-May and will sail under Lithuanian flag.
Ro-pax tonnage dominates the market in the Baltic Sea
and this purchase is part of DFDS' fleet renewal
strategy. On delivery the ship will change her name
to LISCO PATRIA.
