RFA Sea Centurion (A98) was a fast sealift ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary built for Stena Line by Societa Esercizio Cantieri. She now sails in the Mediterranean Sea under under Stena management named Mont Ventoux.
She was one of five 2700 lane metre capacity Roll On/Roll Off sister ships which were to have been built for Stena Ro-Ro, and one of the last built by SEC at Viareggio before the yard closed due to bankruptcy in 2002. Her sister ships include the Stena Freighter (planned to be the RFA Sea Chieftain) and the Aronte. The remaining two ships were not completed.
