Stena Line has appointed Bjarne Koitrand, 42, as the new Technical Director with responsibility for port facilities as well as for the operation, safety and refitting of all Stena Line's ferries. Bjarne Koitrand comes from his previous role as CEO for Götaverken Cityvarvet in Gothenburg.
Ferry company Stena Line has expressed its delight at today’s announcement that its acquisition of the DFDS routes from Belfast to Liverpool (Birkenhead) and Belfast to Heysham has been fully approved by the Competition Commission.
As part of Stena Line's environmental efforts, a world first project is now getting underway. As the first passenger ferry in the world, the Stena Jutlandica, Gothenburg-Fredrikshaven, is being equipped with two wind turbines at the prow, which will contribute by both supplying energy and reducing fuel consumption.
