History

The third of the E-Flexer-class ferries, the ship was constructed at the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in China and floated on 15 November 2019.[1] The ship competed its sea trials in the Yellow Sea before the end of October 2020,[2] and was delivered to Stena at Weihai on 1 December 2020.[3][4]

The ship began its maiden commercial voyage from Rosslare to Cherbourg on 14 January 2021,[5][6] and was transferred to the Birkenhead to Belfast route by 26 January 2021.[7]

Stena Embla is a replacement for Stena Mersey. Stena Mersey was transferred to operate between Nynäshamn and Ventspils on the Baltic Sea, following a rebuild and renaming as Stena Baltica.[8]
