Without the obvious errors it would have been a nice background article about the Methanol-suitable propulsion-conversion of "Stena Germanica".

Hmm, interesting. I wonder what will turn out the best for ferry operators, "NOx" scrubbers or methanol...
But this ship is not even close to being the largest ferry in the Nordic region, let alone the second largest in the world!!!She measures 44,237gt, the second largest RO/PAX, Stena Britannia measures 62,200gt!
