The vessel measures 212 metres in length and with a gross tonnage of 33,690 tonnes, she has over 4,000 lane metres of freight capacity and space for 300 passengers.

She spent nine days at DVR in dry dock number five, where she underwent a special survey and had the blades of her bow thruster removed, maintained and reinstalled. The seals and liners on her tail shafts were at the same time also renewed while a number of small steel repairs were made and the anodes replaced. However the most visible indication of the time that Stena Transporter’s stay at DVR was the full external painting programme that she underwent, extending from the keel up to her funnels.

“She came out looking like a new ship,” said project manager Robbin Kok, “but we knew that even all the parts that weren’t so visible were in a first-rate condition and so she was ready to get back to her busy schedule.”

“Stena Line confidence in Damen is the result of many earlier visits. We are very happy with the excellent relationship between both companies. On the Damen repair yards are working professionals, that is what you see” said ship operations manager Peter Jacobs.
