Technical Specifications
Overview
The Stena Vinga is a roll-on/roll-off ferry owned by Stena Line and chartered to DFDS Seaways operating between Jersey in the Channel Islands and Portsmouth, England. She was built in 2005 as Hammerodde for Bornholmstrafikken (later BornholmerFærgen), operating on its Baltic Sea services. In 2017, she was purchased by Stena Line, which briefly chartered her back to BornholmerFærgen, before entering service with the company in 2018 as Stena Vinga. Since 2025, she has been chartered to DFDS, which is due to purchase and rename her by November 2026.
Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Port of Southampton — 11 d across 41 stays.
Derived from the AIS track — runs of near-zero speed (anchored, moored or drifting) snapped to the nearest port. Builds up as we observe the vessel.
Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). The computed ETA is steaming time at the vessel’s passage speed, and does not include any wait for a berth. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.
Intelligence
Verified reported figure. Band is peer-relative, not official IMO CII.
AIS-derived from our live feed.
Operational Status
Making way at sea speed on its latest broadcast.
Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull — we keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.
Arrivals, time in port and the load/discharge inferred from the draught change — detected from AIS track history. An open call means the vessel is still in port (no departure observed yet).
Method: each call is a run of fixes inside a port’s geofence confirmed by a stop (or an AIS gap); load/discharge is the sign of the draught delta over the call. Indicative — arrivals before our AIS history began read from the first observation.
Time-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
Based on 76 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
Composite Risk
Some elevated factors — typically age or a lower-graded flag — but no acute ship-specific flag.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
