Stena Line is undertaking a GBP4.4m ($6.34m) refit of its Irish Sea ferry fleet at Harland & Wolff.

Stena said that over the next two months the seven vessels in its Irish Sea Ferry fleet would be docked at the Belfast yard. The job scope covers a range of specialist works including annual inspections, passenger facility upgrade work as well as ongoing technical enhancements.

Paul Grant, Stena Line’s route manager said: ”Our refits are very important to ensure the smooth and safe running of our expanding fleet of ships. The decision to place the majority of our refit contract work with Harland and Wolff allows us to play our part in helping to support local business.”
