On the Irish Sea a giant wind turbine vessel has had its departure from the Port of Holyhead delayed by the weather.

MPI Resolution arrived at the port on Thursday after sailing in from Rotterdam - with its towering 220ft height attracting attention.

It is operated by Dutch firm Van Oord who told North Wales Live the vessel is set to do operations and maintenance work on Irish Sea wind farms.
