Recent Changes
Superfast VII and Superfast VIII will replace the three existing vessels serving the Scotland - Northern Ireland service in November 2011. At over 30,000 tons these will be the largest ships to have ever served the route and will offer a crossing time of 2hrs 15mins. Coinciding with this will be a switch of services from Stranraer to Cairnryan.
Stena Line has now received regulatory approval to take over the Irish Sea routes formerly operated by DFDS Seaways. This means that Stena Line is operating services between Liverpool (Birkenhead) & Belfast and Heysham & Belfast.
