The Stena Futura’s entry into service marks a major step forward in creating a more sustainable, higher-capacity trade corridor between the UK and Northern Ireland.

The 147-metre Stena Futura will operate 12 sailings per week.

A sister ship, Stena Connecta, is also set to launch in early 2026 in response to customer demand. Together, they are expected to enhance Stena Line’s freight capacity by 40%.
