#FerryNews - Operator, Stena Line has dropped plans for a £5m upgrade at its Port of Fishguard terminal in Pembrokeshire, south Wales.

The company, BBC News reports was planning to replace the flexible ship-to-shore bridge that allows vehicles and passengers on or off at different heights of the tide.

The work would have meant the closure of the port for three months early next year.

Stena said it did not now "have a timescale for future developments".

The ferry operator invited tenders last year for the work to replace the Linkspan bridge on its Fishguard to Rosslare route.
