RUBY EXPRESS

Charter changed

Arriving in the Antilles in July 2024, the 'Ruby Express' was to carry out maritime transport between Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique and Saint Lucia, but management has found that operating the ferry is too expensive. It will be repatriated to Europe and possibly replaced by a smaller vessel. On Feb 1, 2025,, Onick Deravel, CEO of FRS Express des Iles, confirmed that the flagship of the fleet costs 20% more to operate than initial estimates and does not correspond to the competitiveness policy for customers. The vessel is 60 meters long and 16.5 meters wide and therefore difficult to maneuver in the ports served by the company, which extends the operating time. Because of its dimensions, only Martinique can accommodate the ship in the event of a breakdown. To clean the hull, it must be anchored in the bay of Saint-Louis in Guadeloupe. FRS Express des Iles has still not recouped the significant costs of putting the 'Ruby Express' into circulation. There was the transatlantic trip from FRS headquarters in Germany, fuel, maintenance and staff training. The operation of the 'Ruby Express' has allowed FRS Express des îles to refurbish the three other ferries already in circulation, the 'Gold Express,' 'Perle Express' and 'Corail Express'. The work will be completed in June 2025. Due to the high prices for purchasing new ships, the fleet will not be renewed in the immediate future. In a few months, the 'Ruby Express' will return to FRS's headquarters in Germany.

STENA VINGA

Charter changed

Stena Line has been awarded a charter for the 'Stena Vinga' from March 2025 and the end of the year. The vessel will enter a contracted service in England for DFDS between Portsmouth and Jersey from March 28, and operate evening departures from Jersey and morning departures from Portsmouth and make five rotations per week during the high season.At the beginning of December it was clear that DFDS had won a tender for the service for the next 15 years, which means the end of Condor Ferries' 60-year history of service to the island. DFDS will operate the service with three vessels, one ro-ro vessel and two high-speed vessels. DFDS also plans to invest in three new vessels over the next six years. However, the 'Stena Vinga' will occasionally make a comeback in Stena Line's network and replace other ships, that are scheduled for maintenance. In return, DFDS will provide replacement ships during the periods when the 'Stena Vinga' is not operating the route. The 'Stena Vinga' has a regular position on the route between Gothenburg and Fredrikshamn, but has acted as a substitute within the shipping company's line network since the shipping company began traffic with the ship in 2018.

ENERGOS POWER

Charter changed

The company Deutsche Regas is shutting down the charter contract with the federal government for the 'Energos Power', one of the two LNG ships at the "Deutsche Ostsee" liquefied gas terminal in Mukran on Rügen: The ship belongs to the "Deutsche Ostsee" energy terminal. The reason was cited as being "the ruinous pricing policy" of Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH (DET). DET is 100 % owned by the federal government. It operates four LNG ships in Wilhelmshaven, Brunsbüttel and Stade. The "Deutsche Ostsee" terminal in Mukran consists of the two ships "Neptune" and "Energos Power" and is operated by Deutsche Regas. Deutsche Regas did not charter the "Neptune" from the federal government, but from the energy supplier Total. The federal government procured the "Energos Power" at short notice during the gas supply crisis in 2022 and won Deutsche Regas as the operator. Industry circles said at the time that the company would pay a total of 500 million euros in charter to the federal government until 2032.
