Aluminox is awarded the galley contract for the E-flexer for DFDS, built in Avic Weihai shipyard for Stena Lines - HN W268
We are more than glad to announce that ALUMINOX SA is the awarded Galley equipment maker for one (1) E-Flexer for DFDS (W268).
ALUMINOX SA will be responsible to deliver the equipment for the main galley, the self service areas, the bars and cafeterias.
Working closely with the owner and the shipyard ALUMINOX SA proposed also the layout arrangement in order to ensure a fully functional scope of supply.
The vessel now ordered is the fifth in the Stena E-Flexer RoPax class and Stena RoRo has a further three options on vessels for delivery from 2021 and onwards. The newbuild has been signed to a 10-year bareboat charter with DFDS. The new ferry will operate in the English Channel between Dover and Calais. With a capacity of 3,100 lane metres and up to 1,000 passengers, the vessel will be DFDS’s largest ferry operating in the English Channel. The ship will be designed to the highest technical and environmental standard and will offer an anticipated 25 per cent lower fuel consumption compared with today’s ferries.
The order is part of DFDS’s renewal of its fleet and will replace one of the six ferries currently operating in the English Channel.
