He used the chartered 1954-built passenger vessel Ostersoen, which stayed for just a few months before being returned to her owners and then went to operate in the Mediterranean until she was broken up in 1995.
Currently, Stena Line is using 38 vessels which serve 18 routes across Europe, from Ireland and Britain in the west to Latvia in the east, and which handle six million passengers and several million freight units every year.
