MS ''Stena Mersey'' is a RoPax ferry operated by Stena Line between Birkenhead and Belfast. She was built in Italy by Cantiere Navale Visentini. She is 26,500GRT and can carry up to 980 passengers in her two lounges, and can sleep up to 480 in cabins. She has four vehicle decks and room for around 200 lorries. Her maximum speed is 27 knots, but usually sails at 23 knots maximum. ==History== ''Stena Mersey'' was launched in December 2005 as ''Mersey Viking'', entering service with Norse Merchant Ferries later the same month. A few months later, Norse Merchant Ferries was acquired by Norfolkline. ''Mersey Viking'' received Norfolkline lettering on her red hull but retained her Norse Merchant Ferries funnel for several years. In July 2010 Norfolkline was acquired by DFDS. The vessel was renamed ''Mersey Seaways'' during her refit in August 2010. Later that same year, DFDS sold its Northern Irish operations to Stena Line. In August 2011, the vessel was renamed ''Stena Mersey''〔http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?mmsi=235068243〕 Early in 2012, ''Stena Mersey'', along with her sister ship ''Stena Lagan'', was given a complete interior and exterior refit and repaint at Harland and Wolff. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Stena Mersey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
