Stena RoRo has ordered another RoPax-class E-Flexer vessel, which is fuelled by LNG, from the Chinese shipyard CMI Jinling (Weihai), with delivery scheduled for Q1 2026.
The vessel, the thirteenth in the E-Flexer series, is destined for Corsica Linea and will operate between Marseille and Corsica. The vessels can run on LNG, MGO, or biodiesel, meeting current and future environmental requirements.
This new and highly efficient ship will be an important factor in our green transition and a part of our objective to reduce our CO2 emissions with 40 % by 2030
… said Pierre-Antoine Villanova, CEO of CORSICA linea
Stena RoRo has a total of 13 confirmed orders for E-Flexer vessels and two “New Max” RoRo vessels at the CMI Jinling shipyard. The vessels will also be designed with the classification society notation “Battery power” which means that in the future the vessels will also be able to utilize batteries as a means of propulsion.
Through the further development and optimization of the hull shape in combination with multi-fuel engines and battery hybrid technology, ordering new vessels will be the most important and powerful measure to reduce CO2 emissions from shipping in the future

This marks Stena RoRo’s first delivery to the Mediterranean region.
