Holyhead Port Shuts Terminal 5 After Severe-Weather Berthing Incident

Safety checks will proceed once conditions ease.

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.
