Stena-Flavia

On July 15, 2020, a person fell overboard the 'Stena Flavia' off Nynäshamn. At 7 a.m. the police and the MRCC were alerted by the ship which operates the Nynäshamn-Ventspils route and was on its way to Nynäshamn. Several search units and, staff from the Sea Rescue Society, police, one pilot boat and a rescue helicopter as well as a police helicopter were mobilized. The Maritime Police was participating in the operation. The search operation took place near Bedarön in Nynäshamn. Neither Stena Line, the police nor the sea rescue had any further information about the circumstances.

The "Stena Flavia", which usually runs between Nyhäshamn and Ventspils, has been affected by engine trouble after its departure from Nynäshamn on Dec 11, 2017, at 8.15 a.m. She was towed into the port of Södertäjle for repairs at 1 p.m. During the three days which were expected to get the damage fixed, she was replaced by the ferry "Urd" (IMO: 7826855). The "Stena Flavia" left the port again on Dec 15 at 9.20 a.m. and headed to Nynäshman, where she arrived at 12.45 a.m. Video: https://www.facebook.com/SodertaljeHamn/videos/1921600631198514/
