Holyhead Port can confirm that the Terminal 5 ferry berth at the port reopened on 16 January as planned and ferry services have resumed. The ferry berths had been closed since 7 December 2024.
While we are relying on one berth for all ferry operations, the ferries will run on an adjusted timetable, and given the situation, we plan to facilitate a full schedule for both ferry operators from Terminal 5 on a temporary basis. If you have a ferry booking to or from Holyhead, please check the timetable with the operator.
We will provide an updated timeline for reopening Terminal 3 as soon as possible.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of all those affected by the closure, and we’d like to thank our teams and stakeholders for their support and cooperation during this challenging time.

Holyhead Port remains open and continues to facilitate a full sailing schedule.
Initial assessments have identified damage to berth 5, therefore it will remain non-operational until a structural engineering assessment can be provided with a recommended approach in January. We believe this decision provides clarity for the ferry operators, their customers and the market over the festive period.
No sailings will be cancelled due to this work, and ferries continue to operate at their normal capacity. Please check directly with the ferry operators for sailing schedules and updates.
