STENA LINE LIMITED
Stena Line Limited is a private limited company registered in Ireland, incorporated on 28 October 1986. Business registry data reviewed for this profile records the company’s status as active; no registered office address could be confirmed from a primary registry source within the scope of this research, so none is stated here.
Stena Line Limited is the Irish-registered corporate entity within the Stena Line ferry network. Stena Line, as a brand, provides passenger and freight ferry services on the Irish Sea, operating routes connecting Ireland and Great Britain, including Dublin-Holyhead, Rosslare-Fishguard, Belfast-Cairnryan and Belfast-Liverpool, according to Stena Line’s official website. Stena Line Limited’s own registered activity relates to ferry and shipping services.
Stena Line is part of Stena AB, a privately held Swedish group, as stated on Stena Line’s official corporate website. Stena AB and its associated operating companies are commonly referred to as the Stena Sphere, a Gothenburg-based, family-controlled conglomerate founded by Sten A. Olsson, with current Stena Group leadership under Dan Olsson.
No stock-exchange listing applies to Stena Line Limited; it is not a publicly listed company. No independently verified entity-level revenue or employee count for Stena Line Limited specifically was located during this research. The wider Stena Line ferry business reports employee numbers and turnover on a group basis through its own website, and those figures should not be read as company-level figures for Stena Line Limited.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Stena Line Limited
No individual or corporate shareholders are disclosed in the Irish company registry data reviewed for this profile. Shareholder and beneficial-ownership filings for Irish companies are held by Ireland’s Companies Registration Office (CRO) and the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO); no shareholder names, share classes or ownership percentages for Stena Line Limited were located in the sources reviewed. Missing percentages are reported as not disclosed rather than treated as zero.
Stena Line Limited is, based on Stena Line’s own corporate communications, part of the wider group of companies controlled by Stena AB, a privately held Swedish holding company. Because Stena AB and its affiliated Stena Sphere companies are privately held, a public shareholder cap table is not expected to exist in the way it would for a listed company, and this profile does not assume one.
Data availability
Shareholder and beneficial-ownership information for Stena Line Limited is categorised as Not found for the purposes of this profile: Ireland maintains a Central Register of Beneficial Ownership, but no specific shareholder filing for this entity was retrieved during this research, and CRO shareholder search was not accessible within the scope of this review.

Officers
5
Directors and officers of Stena Line Limited
Irish company records reviewed for this profile disclose five officer appointments: one current director, one current authorised person, and three historical authorised persons whose appointments have since ended. The current active director is Sindo Dominic Fernandez-Ares, appointed 30 November 2021. UK Companies House records independently show a director of the same name, born November 1973, holding directorships at other Stena group entities (including Stena Line Ports Limited and Stena Finance (U.K.) Limited) with a matching appointment date, corroborating the identity recorded in the Irish filing. The second current officer, Orla Noonan, holds the role of Authorised Person and was appointed 1 November 2015. Three further Authorised Person appointments predate this and have ended: Helen Gallivan (appointed 1901, recorded to 1 March 1998), Mary Finola Gallagher (1 March 1998 to 31 March 2004) and Francis Buckley (31 March 2004 to 1 November 2015), showing the Authorised Person role held in continuous succession since the company’s early filing history.
Nationality is not disclosed in the underlying Irish filing data reviewed for this profile. Where a separate UK source independently confirms nationality for a same-named individual at a different Stena entity, that nationality has not been imported into this entity’s officer record, since nationality, residence and correspondence address are treated as distinct facts specific to each filing. Addresses shown in the underlying records are correspondence or service addresses, not confirmed residential addresses.
Recent officer changes
- Appointment: Sindo Dominic Fernandez-Ares appointed Director, 30 November 2021 (Irish company officer records).
- Appointment: Orla Noonan appointed Authorised Person, 1 November 2015, following the resignation of Francis Buckley on the same date.
Data availability
Officer information for Irish companies is filed with the CRO and is categorised here as Partial: appointment and resignation dates are available, but nationality and occupation fields are not disclosed in the source reviewed.

Group Structure
Group structure of Stena Line Limited
Stena Line Limited is not an independent business. The Stena Line official website confirms that Stena Line is part of Stena AB, a privately held Swedish parent group. Stena AB and its related operating companies are collectively known as the Stena Sphere, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and controlled by the Olsson family; Stena Line’s website names Dan Olsson as the current head of the Stena Group.
The relationship between Stena Line Limited, the Irish-registered entity, and Stena AB has not been confirmed through an Irish or Swedish corporate registry filing showing a direct shareholding chain, so this profile describes Stena AB as the ultimate parent of the wider Stena Line business rather than confirming a specific, filed, direct-ownership percentage for Stena Line Limited itself. No ownership or voting percentage is disclosed. Related Stena group entities identified through UK company records include Stena Line Ports Limited and Stena Finance (U.K.) Limited, which share a common director with Stena Line Limited; a shared director alone is not treated here as proof of direct corporate ownership between those entities and Stena Line Limited.
