Stena Line, in response to an announcement yesterday (25 June), has expressed its disappointment that the reopening of Terminal 3 (T3) at Holyhead Port will be delayed for two weeks.
While Stena Line has operated a full sailing schedule since the reopening of Terminal 5 in January of this year, timetable adjustments have been necessary as T3 remained closed for essential repairs.
As Afloat previously reported, the T3 facility at the Welsh port, which is used by Irish Ferries on the Dublin route, was originally to have reopened on 1 July, however, with the ongoing repairs, they share T5 with Stena, but the full reopening of the port has been deferred to 15 July.
Johan Edelman, Stena Line Trade Director (Irish Sea South), said, “Whilst we are disappointed that we cannot return to our normal sailing schedule, we recognise and appreciate the scale and complexity of the specialist work that has been undertaken since December 2024.”
“Stena Line has been able to continue to operate its service on the Holyhead–Dublin route with the same frequency via adjustments to the timetable. Stena Line had planned to return to the normal timetable at the start of July, as advised, so I would like to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience and thank them for their understanding.”
“Our customer service teams will be in contact with our customers to minimize any disruption, and we look forward to the completion of works and a return to our normal schedule on the 15th of July.”
