Passenger lost over board

On March 5, 2022, at 4:20 a.m., the MRCC in Gdynia received a digital "Man Overboard" signal by radio from the 'Stena Vision'. The ferry was sailing about 8 nautical miles north of Rozewie en route to Gdynia. A man wearing a gray jacket had fallen overboard. The crew of the ferry threw a lifebuoy with a light buoy to the victim. An SAR operation was launched, involving the SAR vessel 'Bryza' from Władysławowo, a Navy helicopter, two units of the ferry and a nearby German navy ship as well as a merchant man. The sea state was 2-3, air temperature 2 degrees Celsius, water temperature 3 degrees Celsius. The search was suspended without result at 2 p.m.

Ferry delayed due to bomb threat

On Aug 9, 2021, a passenger behaved threateningly on board the 'Stena Vision' while the ship was en route from Karlskrona to Gdynia. The passenger claimed that he claimed to have placed bombs on board the ship. Just before the ferry was to arrive in Gdynia the passenger was overpowered by staff and was arrested when the ship docked at Gdynia. An investigation was conducted by the police. At 1 p.m., the investigation aboard the 'Stena Vision' was completed, and the ship left Gdynia short time later towards Karlskrona.

Lay up plans changed

There will be no lay up of the 'Stena Vision' in Karlskrona because the replacement ship 'Stena Nordica' which should hve started service on May 4 between Karlskrona and Gdynia, is now needed on the Irish Sea. The ship will remain sailing for two months until the beginning of July instead. The 'Stena Nordica' will support traffic between Dublin and Holyhead and between Fishguard and Rosslare.
