Stena Line to charter CAROLINE RUSS for Dutch route

Ro-roIn response to demand on the routes from The Netherlands to Killingholme, Stena Line is to add additional capacity by introducing a second ship from Europoort to Killingholme.

After her current drydock in Bremerhaven CAROLINE RUSS will be brought in to operate three times weekly from Europoort in the Netherlands and Killingholme in the UK, with the first departure from Europoort on October 31, 2016.

She has been used by Corsica Linea, and after this charter she was at anchor in front of the Belgian Coast for quite a while, before sailing to Bremerhaven.

The 1,625 lane metre CAROLINE RUSS will join current 1,692 lane metre STENA SCOTIA on the route. The frequency will hereby increase to six departures per week in each direction.

The STENA SCOTIA was introduced on the route September 2014 as a complement to the two freight ships, the STENA TRANSIT and STENA TRANSPORTER on the Hoek van Holland – Killingholme route.
