Stena Line and Irish Ferries have made adjustments to their operations at Holyhead port following the closure of one of the berths. Instead of the usual two berths, the ferry services are currently running from a single site. This temporary change is due to the ongoing repair work on the damaged berth.
Since the partial reopening and the shift to a single berth operation, traders in Holyhead have reported a significant decrease in footfall and revenue. The closure of the port has had a noticeable impact on the local economy, as Holyhead is a crucial gateway for two million passengers and 1,200 lorries and trailers crossing daily.
Stena Line has assured that efforts are being made to restore the damaged berth to full operational capacity in a safe and efficient manner.
