“The ferry has proven to be a good fit for Jersey and has performed well during the charter period. Bringing it into our owned fleet is a natural step that supports our long‑term operations and commitment to serving Jersey.”
The 125-metre-long ferry can carry up to 400 passengers and 200 cars and has a freight capacity of 1,500 lane metres. The ferry was built in 2005 and is equipped with 40 cabins, a restaurant, a duty-free shop, a cinema, and a recliner lounge.
Stena Vinga will be re-flagged to the UK and renamed to fit with DFDS’ existing fleet. The purchase will be completed in November 2026, and the ferry will continue to operate on the Jersey-UK/France routes.
