Overview
- Stena Line closed Terminal 5 as a precaution until a full structural inspection can be completed, with rough weather delaying the assessment and an apology issued as safety remains the priority.
- Ferry operators are temporarily sharing a single berth to manage operations during the closure.
- Holyhead Port states it is maintaining the full sailing schedule despite the loss of the berth.
- The berthing incident occurred on Friday, 5 December, during severe weather.
- Local MS Rhun ap Iorwerth voiced concern and will pursue the issue with the Welsh Government and Stena Line, noting last year’s Storm Darragh damage that halted sailings for weeks.
