September 11, 2025 - 559 views

One of Britain's busiest ports, Holyhead, will be operating at limited capacity for two months due to maintenance work. Two berths were damaged during Storm Darragh, affecting travelers and deliveries.

Extensive work saw the port return to capacity back in July.

However the port will introduce further maintenance work from now until November for eight weeks, creating some further impact on ferry operations.

This work has been held until September to effectively manage the high volume of traffic during the summer season.

During this period ferry operators will share Terminal 5 berth and operate a full timetable. Holyhead Port recommends that you check your ferry operator website for timetable details.

This phase of work has been planned and scheduled to allow the work to be undertaken outside of the summer period. Work must be undertaken from the sea and weather dependent; therefore, September is the optimal time for this maintenance and improvement work, minimising the risk of adverse weather conditions.

Stena Line Ports investment in maintenance and improvements works is to improve the resilience and strengthen Holyhead Port as part of the key trading corridor connecting Ireland and the UK.
