UK – Holyhead Port Closure

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.
