Three members of the LASH FIRE consortium: Martin Carlsson de Stena Teknik (Suecia), Tomas Kaland de NTNU Samfunnsforskning (Noruega) y Jamie Bleye del Centro Jovellanos - SASEMAR (España), visited the ro-pax vessel Stena Flavia, owned by operator Stena Line. The expedition aimed to analyse the manual screening of cargo, the fire patrol routes, the equipment needed for the first response in a potential fire as well as the decision making process during the management of a fire on board. The Stena Flavia, built in 2008, is a ro-pax vessel of 186 meters in length and with a capacity of 830 passengers. She covers the route between Nynäshamn (Sweden) to Ventspils (Latvia), crossing the Baltic sea in about 8 hours and 30 minutes.
