In winter 2025–2026, Finferries’ M/S Stella will make a major move toward sustainable maritime transport with the installation of a peak-shaving battery system. Originally built at the STX Finland Rauma shipyard in 2012, where some of today’s LST electricians contributed, Stella is now being upgraded by LST Projects Oy as the main contractor. Fourteen years after launch, the vessel’s conversion is well underway, with design and procurement progressing smoothly.

Stella’s conversion is part of the EU-funded REISFER project under the Interreg Central Baltic 2021–2027 program, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions on the Korppoo–Houtskari route by up to 50%. Installation work will begin at the end of the year, with the upgraded vessel scheduled to enter service in early 2026.

LST Projects Oy and Defense and security technology group Summa Defence’s subsidiary company, Uudenkaupungin Työvene have entered into an agreement for the comprehensive electrification delivery for two battery-hybrid passenger vessels that will be built for Torghatten AB. Vessels will serve Sweden’s west coast between Strömstad and the Koster Islands.

LST Group companies are actively participating in several patrol and combat vessel projects at Finnish shipyards, with vessel sizes ranging from 15 to over 100 meters. You can find more project details in publicly available sources.
