By GlobalDataStena RoRo Operations general manager Niklas Andersson said: “The conversion has gone extremely fast and we are very happy with the results.
“The Mediterranean is a familiar market for us, but in this case, we have a new customer, which makes it especially nice. This type of assignment – taking a customer’s wishes and realising them with rapid execution – is what we are best at.”
Stena RoRo Greece shipyard site manager Claes Tisell added: “The process has moved extremely fast and collaboration with affected suppliers has gone smoothly.
“Despite major difficulties related to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, with shipyard workers and subcontractors, among others, forced to quarantine, we have managed to keep the timetable.”
