Last month, Stena Line celebrated 30 years of ferry operations in Belfast Harbour with its first ship naming ceremony in Northern Ireland.
Over 200 guests attended the official naming ceremony of Stena Line’s newest vessel, Stena Futura, at Belfast Harbour. This state-of-the-art hybrid freight ferry marks a significant milestone in Stena Line’s 30-year partnership with Belfast and its ambitious journey toward sustainable shipping.
The naming ceremony was carried out by the ship’s Godmother, Dr Madeleine Olsson Ericksson, a member of the Olsson family, owners of Stena Line and guests included Deputy Lieutenant of the Borough of Belfast, Dr Philip McGarry, Deputy First Minister, Emma Little-Pengelly and Dr Theresa Donaldson, Chair of Belfast Harbour Commissioners. The ceremony also marked the key milestone for the company, celebrating 30 years of Stena Line operations in Belfast since moving their services to the city in 1995.
