The Stena Danica currently in drydock in Landskrona is getting a conservatory style glass roofed bar added to the top deck at the stern, with room for 300 it will be an interesting addition to the Danicas on board offering, it is also likely to get its version of the green wave branding.

The Stena Scandinavica currently in Rementowa has yet to enter drydock it's getting scrubbers fitted, it will be interesting to see how they integrate into the existing funnels.

Stena Britannica is only just leaving Harwich, with Stena Hollandica inbound, according to Marine Traffic.

Does anybody know the reason please?  Britannica was drydocked last November.

Thanks.

There was a fire on one of the lorries as the ship was docking this morning.

Wow, thankfully fire was contained and damage limited, Britannica going to shipyard for inspection and clean up before returning to service, going to cause chaos for a few days to have that capacity lost, Hollandica sailings will be very busy.

Might have to take a vessel on short term charter to help move freight.

Britannica back at Hoek this evening, looks like it's back in service, no major damage done.

Stena Europe is off for refit from Sunday 4th until Tuesday 20th of February, the replacement vessel while the Europe is away will be the Isle Of Inishmore as Stena charter space onboard the Irish Ferries vessel.

All Stena customers can still book on the stena line website and Stena will have employees in Pembroke to look after their customers.

The only major changes will obviously be the timetable reverts to Irish Ferries rather than Stena Line timings.

The Stena Danica returned to service today after a three week refit, one of the last Stena Line Ferries to get the "Green Wave" branding it also has  a new conservatory style glass roofed bar on the top stern deck.

Also Stena Scandinavica (sister ship to Stena Adventurer) is getting scrubbers installed during drydock at  Rementowa

And Stena Spirit has arrived in Rementowa for refit also.

Stena Adventurer having fun today! Arrived slightly late in Holyhead on her overnight crossing then had trouble berthing. Eventually left around 5 am and didn't return back to Holyhead until 14:40 this Afternnon. Currently there are 35kt Winds and she is being held on the Terminal 5 by the St David. Superfast X is due in soon, presumably she will use Terminal 3 to drop before Epsilon Arrives.

With Ulysses also being out of action as well as Jonathan Swift drydocking, there may be backlogs at both sides of the Central Corridor.

Stena Adventurer delayed again this morning.

She has made up a couple of hours though.  Quite impressive considering the circumstances.
