She is also taking on additional crew for training and familiarisation on the journey “home” to the UK which will take her around the western edge of the Iberian peninsula and across the Bay of Biscay.
STENA ESTRID is taking on fuel from the bunkering tanker BLUE VEGA at the time of writing The final leg of her voyage is expected to take STENA ESTRID 3-4 days after which a period of trials and further crew training/drills will commence before she enters service on the Holyhead – Dublin route around mid-January.
