In brief
MV Storno was a roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ferry formerly operated by Marine Atlantic from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, Canada. The vessel was completed in 1978 by Hyundai Shipbuilding Company Limited in and delivered to the Stena Line which operates in Northern Europe. She was sold on 12 March 2010 and given her current name Pelagitis. In 2025 AINAFTIS sold the ship to Togo Cargo Ferries in 2025 and has the name Storno. The vessel was scrapped in Turkey at the beginning of 2026.
Throughout her career, the vessel sailed under the names Atlantic Freighter, Merzario Grecia, Stena Grecia, and Tor Felicia.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 5,466 gross tons, MV Pelagitis is the 43,176th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 450th by tonnage — larger than 44% of that group. Their median tonnage is 7,395 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 34,011 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Italy (62 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with 16 hulls on record.
Greece is the country of registry for 1,164 vessels in this directory, of which MV Pelagitis is the 690th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (835 ships), and the median vessel measures 29,858 GT. Browse every ship flagged Greece.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 37 ro-ros flying the Greece flag, of which 9 are larger by tonnage.
MV Pelagitis was built in 1978, making it 48 years old. It is one of 1,698 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,556 GT; within it this ship is the 648th largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1,092 vessels to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 65,131 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 151.0 m overall, MV Pelagitis is 26.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record, with a beam of 21.7 m and a draft of 7.3 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7528611 this registry holds 39 other vessels, whose median build year is 1977 and which range from 1974 to 1987. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1978.
Its IMO number, 7528611, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 8×4 + 6×3 + 1×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
