Eleven Stena RoRo LNG-fuelled E-Flexer ferries scheduled for charter to European and Canadian operators will each feature advanced Marine Evacuation Systems(MES) supplied by global Survival Technology solutions provider Survitec.
Survitec has already delivered three shipsets of the evacuation systems, with MES successfully installed and commissioned aboard two extended 240m long, 1200 passenger capacity E-Flexers Stena Estelle and Stena Ebba. Stena Ebba began operations on Stena Line’s Sweden-Poland route in January 2023.
Survitec is supplying advanced MES solutions to E-Flexers ordered to sail under Stena Line(5), Brittany Ferries(5), and Marine Atlantic(1).
In addition to the E-flexers, Survitec is supplying MES to a trio of LNG-fuelled ropax newbuilds for a Polish operator. The contract for each of the 196m long, 400-passenger-capacity dual-fuelled ferries will also include the services of Survitec technicians to supervise the installation and oversee system commissioning and acceptance testing.
Each Survitec MES system is bespoke to suit individual vessel requirements. Considerations include flag and class requirements, vessel area of operation, vessel layout, evacuation height and the number of passengers.
