Stena RoRo takes delivery of RoRo ship Giuseppe Lucchesi

Stena RoRo has expanded its fleet with the purchase of the RoRo ship Giuseppe Lucchesi. The ship will be renamed the Stena Shipper and fly the Danish flag. In connection with the transaction, Stena RoRo is taking over a contract with the Tunisian shipping company Cotunav for service on the Rades - Marseille route. The seller is CIN (Compagnia Italiana di Navigazione S.p.A), a company in the Moby Lines S.p.A group of companies.

The Stena Shipper was built in 2012 at the Danish shipyard Odense Yard.

“This acquisition is part of our continuing expansion of our fleet, broadening our offering and strengthening our position in the market,” says Per Westling, Managing Director, Stena RoRo. “The Stena Shipper is the last ship in a long series of sister ships built at the Danish Odense shipyard and has a large cargo capacity, which combined with a low fuel consumption, provides good environmental characteristics.”
