Stena Line has cancelled all ferry services between Dublin and Holyhead until Friday 20th December.
The company is currently in the process of contacting all affected customers. The move – announced at the weekend – comes as it looks likely the severe damage caused by Storm Darragh at Holyhead will put back the Welsh port’s reopening beyond the planned reopening date of December 19.
Travel customers are advised to amend their Stena Line bookings online free of charge or through its Contact Centre on 0344 770 7070 (UK)/ + 353 1 907 5555 (ROI).
To assist in the continuity of trade and passenger flows, Stena Line has added a new route from Dublin to Fishguard for passengers and freight, and additional sailings for the freight only services on the Dublin – Birkenhead and Belfast – Heysham routes, while Belfast – Cairnryan has added weekend sailings.
Stena Line has apologised for the inconvenience caused and has sought to assure customers that the company is doing everything in its power to mitigate the effects of the closure on passenger and freight traffic.
Meanwhile, Irish Ferries has ceased taking bookings for its Rosslare-Pembroke route due to the spillover effect from the Holyhead issue.
