In brief
Stena Hollandica, launched in January 2010, is the first of two identical roll-on/roll-off ferries built by Wadan Yards in Warnemünde and nearby Wismar, Germany for Stena Line. The second of the two ships, launched towards the end of 2010, is the Stena Britannica. Both ships operate (2012) across the southern North Sea between Harwich and Hook of Holland providing a twice daily service (taking seven hours) from each side. The ships were specifically designed for this route.

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 64,039 gross tons, Stena Hollandica is the 7,199th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 11 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 9th by tonnage — larger than 99% 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.
Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory, of which Stena Hollandica is the 30th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 12 ro-ros flying the Netherlands flag, of which none is larger than Stena Hollandica.
Stena Hollandica was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 419th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 229 vessels to Meyer Wismar, with a median tonnage of 16,994 GT, delivered between 1957 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 240.0 m overall, Stena Hollandica is 115.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record, with a beam of 32.0 m and a draft of 6.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9419163 this registry holds 80 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2006 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.
Its IMO number, 9419163, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 9×4 + 1×3 + 6×2 = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
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.
