| Stena Voyager in Loch
Ryan, approaches Stranraer harbour on Christmas Eve 2000. |
| HSS (High-speed Sea Service)
was developed as a concept by Stena during the
mid-1990's. Compared with normal fast craft, HSS ferries
can carry significantly more passengers and vehicles. In 1996
the first operational craft was delivered - Stena Explorer - which
entered service at Holyhead. It was followed shortly by Stena
Voyager at Stranraer and then in 1997 by Stena Discovery at
Harwich. This feature celebrates the first five years of
service for Stena's HSS ferries. |
