Stena Partner
Alpha Enterprise - Syria - Stena Transporter - Cerdic Ferry - European Freeway - Freeway - Stena Partner
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Stena Line vessel
Stena Partner
of 1978.
Stena Partner
was one of a class of 11 sister ships built by Hyundai in South Korea between 1977/78. They were built by Stena Line for charter or sale, and her first charter was to Arghiris Line of Greece, as the
Alpha Enterprise
. In 1979 she had a brief charter to
North Sea Ferries
.
Alpha Enterprise
was then rebuilt with extra passenger and freight accommodation at Hapag Lloyd Werft, Bremerhaven, before passing to Hellas Ferries as the
Syria
, for a service from Greece to Syria. Her sistership
Stena Transfer
also worked for Hellas Ferries as
Hellas (2)
. In 1981
Syria
returned to Hapag Lloyd Werft for lengthening. From 1982-1983 she was chartered to
Townsend Thoresen European Ferries
, for Felixstowe-Europoort service, before returning to Stena Line, who renamed her
Stena Transporter
. She then had short charters to
TT-SAGA
Line and
Cobelfret
in 1984. In 1985
Stena Transporter
was chartered by
Townsend Thoresen European Ferries
, becoming the
Cerdic Ferry
on services from Felixstowe. In 1992, the charter passed to P&O European Ferries when P&O acquired the Townsend Thoresen routes, and she was renamed
European Freeway
. In 1994
European Freeway
was puchased by P&O, remaining on Felixstowe-Rotterdam (Europoort service). In 2002, the P&O Felixstowe services were sold to Stena Line.
European Freeway
was briefly renamed
Freeway
before becoming
Stena Partner
in January 2003. The UK terminal for the Europoort service was moved to
Harwich
.
