We are pleased to report that Holyhead Port has now returned to a fuller operational timetable from today following repairs after the storm damage in December. One of the two damaged berths is now operating providing close to normal capacity.

Thank you for your patience and understanding over the last month, it has been much appreciated. 

Yellow weather warnings are currently in place across the UK. Snowy, wintry weather may caused localised access issues and cause delays across road networks. 

As you may recall, Holyhead Port has been closed following damage caused by Storm Darragh.

We are pleased to confirm that the port is scheduled to reopen at a reduced capacity on Friday 17^th January 2025. The closure has caused ongoing disruptions and delays. We will continue to monitor the situation, but we hope to resume normal operations shortly after reopening.

We will keep you informed of any developments.

Update 17.12.2024 – 

We have today received confirmation that Holyhead Port will remain closed until 15th January 2025, which will unfortunately result in continued delays. 

We will continue to work with suppliers and keep you informed of any developments.

Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that Holyhead Port is closed due to Storm Darragh causing damage to the port itself. Holyhead Port remains closed as urgent remedial work is required. The latest communications from the port suggest that it will remain non-operational until further notice, possibly even January 2025.

We are working with our suppliers to ensure minimum delays but unfortunately, whilst traffic is directed to other ports, the additional demand has led to congestion and some unavoidable delays.

We will keep you informed of future developments.
