MS Stena Europe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Replacing the Koningin Beatrix, the Stena Europe entered service between Fishguard and Rosslare on 13th March 2002 after a GBP4.5 million refit.

In January 2003 the Stena Europe was in the news when she lost power near Tuskar Rock, just off the Irish coast. Five helicopters were scrambled to winch 155 passengers to safety, but the rescue was aborted as engineers brough the ship back under her own power.

A popular ship, she shared Rosslare for a time with her sister, the Normandy, then operating Irish Ferries' services to France.
