Dublin-Liverpool overture for Stena’s Bore Song

[ April 15, 2024   //   ]

Stena Line has introduced its new, larger freight vessel, Bore Song, on the Dublin – Liverpool (Birkenhead) route. It will increase capacity on the route by 30%.

Stena Line’s Dublin-Liverpool freight service has operated since 15 February  with cover shipsserving customers temporarily whilst the company searched for a longer-term solution.

Bore Song entered service on the route on Sunday 14 April on the 18:00 sailing from Birkenhead.

With capacity for almost 3,000 lane metres of freight, the ship provides significantly more space and is well suited for the demand for unaccompanied freight on this route.

With the addition of the new, Stena Line will now restore capacity on the Rosslare-Fishguard and Rosslare-Cherbourg routes.

Trade Director Irish Sea, Paul Grant, said: “Bore Song is a welcome addition to our Stena Line fleet and will secure our capacity on our new unaccompanied freight route between Dublin and Birkenhead. Our ships and our teams onboard have been flexible with covering the route whilst we searched for a longer-term solution, and we’re delighted to have secured the vessel to boost our freight capacity and better serve our customers on a key trading route between Ireland and Britain.”
