The modernised ferry of Stena Line, lengthened by 36 metres at the Turkish Sedef Shipyard, arrived in the Latvian Port of Ventspils on 29 June.

Stena Scandica is now 222 m-long and offers room for 970 passengers (across 202 cabins) and 2,875 lane metres of freight capacity.

The vessel is modified with drive-through capabilities on two levels to increase the loading efficiency.

Stena Scandica is also equipped with a hybrid scrubber, a ballast water cleaning system, and a twisted leading edge rudder with a costa bulb.

She is going to be joined on the route in question by another ferry that was also jumboised.
