Stena RoRo AB has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with China Merchants Industry Weihai for the construction of two C-Flexer RoRo cargo ships, with options for up to four additional vessels. Each ship will offer a capacity of 3,000 to 4,700 lane meters, marking a strategic investment in a segment that has seen limited newbuilding activity in recent years.
The C-Flexer design builds on Stena’s successful E-Flexer and NewMax concepts, combining a highly efficient hull form with engines ready for future fuels and an expandable battery-hybrid system.
“These ships will be built for today and designed for tomorrow,” said Per Westling, CEO of Stena RoRo AB.

-
Length: 200 m

Beam: 28 or 31 m

The new C-Flexer vessels reflect Stena RoRo’s ongoing commitment to innovation, energy efficiency, and future-ready ship design.
