The Stena Trader and Stena Traveller are to be chartered to the Canadian operator Marine Atlantic Inc. Initially the charter is for 5 years with an option to buy. The first vessel will be delivered in December, with the second following two months later. They will ultimately be replaced  on the Killingholme - Hoek van Holland service by Korean new-builds but other tonnage will be used in the interim.  The ships will be re-fitted in Germany and, unusually, shortened by 12.5 metres to allow for easier manoeuvring at Port aux Basques, Marine Atlantic's main terminal in Newfoundland. Details of the proposed re-builds can be seen by clicking on http://www.marineatlantic.ca/en/fleet/ConceptDrawings.pdf
