Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Stena-Flavia

On July 15, 2020, a distressing incident unfolded as an individual fell overboard from the 'Stena Flavia' while en route to Nynäshamn. The ship, which services the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route, alerted authorities at 7 a.m. The response was swift, with the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) and local police being notified immediately. A coordinated search effort was launched, involving multiple units including the Sea Rescue Society, police vessels, a pilot boat, and both rescue and police helicopters. The intensive search operation was concentrated in the waters near Bedarön in Nynäshamn. As of now, neither Stena Line, the police, nor rescue teams have released additional details regarding the incident or the individual involved. The investigation remains ongoing as efforts to locate the missing person continue.

On December 11, 2017, at 8:15 a.m., the ferry "Stena Flavia," operating the route between Nynäshamn and Ventspils, encountered unexpected engine issues shortly after its departure from Nynäshamn. By 1 p.m., the vessel was towed to Södertälje for urgent repairs. The anticipated duration for fixing the engine faults was three days. During this downtime, the ferry service was temporarily taken over by the "Urd" (IMO: 7826855), ensuring minimal disruption for passengers. Following the repairs, the "Stena Flavia" successfully departed from Södertälje at 9:20 a.m. on December 15 and made her way back to Nynäshamn, arriving at 12:45 a.m. This incident highlighted the importance of quick response and service continuity in maritime operations.

On November 11, 2023, at 11:40 a.m., the ferry 'Pulpca' encountered an allision while approaching berth 4 at the Scandinavia Quay in Lübeck-Travemünde, having arrived from Gdynia. The vessel veered excessively to the starboard side as it navigated upstream on the Trave River, challenged by visibility conditions which were reduced to just 550 meters. This miscalculation led to significant damage to the quay, pontoon, and various installations. Additionally, the Ventspils-bound ferry 'Stena Flavia' also sustained minor damage to its wall rail and a lifeboat during the incident. The 'Pulpca' successfully docked at Sealand Quay 4 around noon. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among the 20 crew members and one passenger onboard. In the aftermath, the water police in Lübeck have detained both vessels for further investigation.
