MS ''Stena Seafarer'' is a ro-ro ferry that operates on the service between Larne, Northern Ireland and Fleetwood, England. The ship is different from ''Stena Leader'' and ''Stena Pioneer'' as this was built to carry passengers rather that freight. Freight is also carried on the service. Seafarer was built in 1975 for Stena Line as ''Union Melbourne'', before being renamed "Union Trader" in 1980. In the same year, the ship was acquired by P&O Irish Sea, becoming ''Puma'', then ''European Seafarer'' in 1998. In 2004 Stena Line the vessel transferred from P&O Irish Sea into the hands of Stena Line. In 2004 the ship was renamed to ''Stena Seafarer''.〔 Stena Line announced in late 2010 that they were to withdraw the Larne to Fleetwood service due to losses being made by the company. There are no plans to relaunch the service. Seafarer takes 8 hours to travel between Larne and Fleetwood but can take up to 12 hours depending on tide depths at Fleetwood. Seafarer is the smallest ship (Original size as delivered) out of the three that operate on the route. == References == 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 Seafarer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
