BON VOYAGE: Stena Line’s newest ferry Stena Estrid departs the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in north-western China, bound for its new home on the Irish Sea between Ireland and Britain. Manned by a much-reduced crew of 27, with no passengers on board, the ship will travel on a journey of well over 10,000 miles, taking just over one month and making a number of stops on the way, before finally arriving in Wales from where it will start service in January on the Dublin to Holyhead route.
