Berthing trials in Tanger Med

The 'Stena Vision', which a week ago ended the Rosslare-Cherbourg route, arrived at the North African port of Tanger Med on Oct 6, followed by a passage across the Strait of Gibraltar to Algeciras for berthing trials. On Oct 7, the ferry berthed at the main wharf in Gibraltar. Since Stena Line withdrew the cruise ferry after sailing on Sep 30 on the Ireland-France route, their only link between the Republic and mainland Europe, the cruise ferry initially anchored off the Wexford ferryport. On Oct 1, Brittany Ferries increased capacity and became the route's new sole operator, while the 'Stena Vision' departed on a much longer voyage, involving the Bay of Biscay and offshore of the Iberian Peninsula states of Portugal.

Sailings cancelled due to engine trouble

The 'Stena Vision', serving on the route Rosslare-Cherbourg, was operating with one engine down on June 25, 2025. The ferry was running about six hours behind schedule. Thr next return trip from Cherbourg, departing on the evening, has been cancelled as well as the sailing from Rosslare on June 26.

Passenger lost over board

On March 5, 2022, at 4:20 a.m., the MRCC in Gdynia received a digital "Man Overboard" signal by radio from the 'Stena Vision'. The ferry was sailing about 8 nautical miles north of Rozewie en route to Gdynia. A man wearing a gray jacket had fallen overboard. The crew of the ferry threw a lifebuoy with a light buoy to the victim. An SAR operation was launched, involving the SAR vessel 'Bryza' from Władysławowo, a Navy helicopter, two units of the ferry and a nearby German navy ship as well as a merchant man. The sea state was 2-3, air temperature 2 degrees Celsius, water temperature 3 degrees Celsius. The search was suspended without result at 2 p.m.
