Holyhead port closure: Hauliers to seek support from Government amid huge 'financial and human cost'

Stena Line has been working hard to provide alternative travel arrangements for customers during the busy festive period, with new routes introduced to assist continuity.

The impact of the Holyhead closure is significant, with 60% of all goods into Ireland coming through the port, creating severe logistical issues for hauliers.

Mr Hyland emphasized the need for clarity on the infrastructure issues at Holyhead, stating that an emergency approach from the Government is vital for support.

Irish hauliers had 500 freights waiting when Storm Darragh struck, and confusion over the port’s re-opening complicated attempts to manage those delays effectively.
