The Port of Holyhead has announced a 2-week delay in the reopening of its Terminal 3 facility, having been seriously damaged by storms late last year.
Holyhead’s Terminal 5 facility reopened back in January, which saw major ferry companies resume their Dublin-Holyhead services.
One of those operators, Stena Line, has said it is disappointed by the announcement. Whilst Stena Line has operated a full sailing schedule since the reopening of Terminal 5 in January of this year, timetable adjustments have been necessary as T3 remained closed for essential repairs.
Johan Edelman, Stena Line Trade Director (Irish Sea South) said: “Whilst we are disappointed that we cannot return to our normal sailing schedule, we recognise and appreciate the scale and complexity of the specialist work that has been undertaken since December 2024.
Stena Line has been able to continue to operate its service on the Holyhead – Dublin route with the same frequency via adjustments to the timetable. Stena Line had planned to return to the normal timetable at the start of July, as advised, so I would like to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience and thank them for their understanding.
“Our customer service teams will be in contact with our customers to minimise any disruption and we look forward to the completion of works and a return to our normal schedule on the 15 July.”
