Sailings cancelled due to technical trouble
A number of sailings between Dublin and Holyhead have been cancelled or delayed due to an issue with the 'Stena Adventurer' in Holyhead on March 8, 2026. The ferry had been due to sail to Dublin from Holyhead at 10 a.m., but developed a technical issue which needed to be resolved. This led to the service being cancelled and passengers having to disembark, while there has been a knock-effect to other schedules as ferries have not been able berth at the port due to the 'Stena Adventurer' taking up the space. The 10.15 a m. Dublin to Holyhead service was diverted to Birkenhead in Liverpool, and passengers were provided with coaches from there. Other Stena services between Holyhead and Dublin have also been affected, along with Irish Ferries services. Four Irish Ferries services from Dublin have been delayed or cancelled, along with three services in the opposite direction. Some Irish passengers had boarded the ' Stena Adventurer' ahead of its scheduled 10 a.m. departure, only to be told to disembark due to the issue at 2.30 p.m. They remained at the port awaiting to find out how and when they would be able to return home. The trucks were unloaded again. A ferry on March 9 at 10:15 a.m. from Dublin would have to be diverted to Liverpool with passengers then taken by coach to Holyhead. The 'Stena Adventurer' remained stationary at Holyhead as of March 9.
Ferry suffered berthing incident
The terminal 5 at Holyhead Port has been temporarily closed after severe weather conditions caused a berthing incident of the 'Stena Adventurer' on the night of Dec 5, 2025, until a full assessment of the berthing structure has taken place. The terminal is primarily used by Stena Line. The ferry operator has confirmed their services are unaffected by the closure. Current weather conditions prevented a full assessment of the berth structure. The terminal will remain closed until all structures have been thoroughly inspected and cleared for normal operations. This assessment was to take place when the weather conditions have improved. Holyhead Port continued to facilitate the full sailing schedule for ferry operators.
Stena Line asks ferry workers to accept pay freeze
Ferry giant Stena Line is asking workers to accept pay freezes and longer hours of working to avoid “large scale redundancies” and replacement with foreign crews. The company has written to its UK seafarers with a stark message about the trading performance of the firm, that employs around 400 staff in Holyhead. Bosses warn that £10m needs to be cut in 2014 from the cost of crewing and maintaining its Irish Sea vessels, which include the Holyhead-based superferry Adventurer, fast ferry Explorer and freight boat Stena Nordica. In a letter by head of HR Mick Ambrose obtained by the Daily Post, the company said one way to resolve the situation was moving to a non-UK crewing model, with large scale redundancy of the existing crews and paying new staff below the UK minimum wage. But Stena Line, which has not made an operational profit in Europe since 2003, say this can be avoided with the cooperation of workers and unions by a major overhaul of pay and conditions. The first stage would see a pay freeze in 2014, a delay to pay harmonisation and the technical management of the ships to be out-sourced to the Northern Marine Group.
