Stena Futura successfully completed sea trials
The Stena Futura, the first of Stena Line's new hybrid ferries built by the China Merchants Jinling Shipyard, Weihai, for the Irish Sea, has successfully completed its sea trials on the Yellow Sea off Weihai in June 2025. The vessel is scheduled to enter service on the Belfast-Heysham route in late summer. The sea trials tested the vessel at sea to demonstrate proper operation and ensure that all systems are fully functional and meet agreed specifications. The tests were covering areas such as engine performance and endurance, fuel consumption, navigation and radio equipment, emergency systems, speed tests, maneuverability, engine and thruster tests, and safety tests. Once in service, the 'Stena Futura' and its sister ship, the 'Stena Connecta', will increase cargo capacity on the Belfast-Heysham route by 40 percent. The two hybrid ferries are equipped to run on methanol fuel and play a key role in Stena Line's sustainability efforts. The ships are also equipped with technologies that enable the use of battery propulsion and shore power when available.
