Sweden based ferry operator Stena RoRo has recently purchased a used ferry from the Japanese shipping company Hankyu Ferry for the European market. The vessel in question is the 2003-built Yamato which measures 195 meters in length and disposes of 2,350 lane meters. The vessel will be rebuilt at a shipyard in Europe and adapted to European standards, after which it will be chartered out. This process will begin in spring 2020 and the ferry is estimated to be in traffic by the summer. Stena RoRo bought the Japanese ferry after ordering eight Stena E-Flexer class vessels from the Chinese AVIC Weihai Shipyard between 2016 and 2018.
