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.

Following the completion of necessary repairs, Terminal 3 at Holyhead Port is on schedule to be brought back into operation on 1 July. Since the reopening of Terminal 5 in January, the Port has been operating a full ferry schedule, while teams have been working diligently to repair the damage to Terminal 3.
We are committed to Holyhead Port’s long-term future as a vital connection between Wales and Ireland and are putting plans in place for an investment strategy to ensure the resilience of the infrastructure to safeguard the port’s sustainable future.
We will continue to work with our ferry partners to provide a full ferry schedule while the repairs are completed to ensure no loss in capacity. We will also work collaboratively with the ferry operators to ensure that future planned maintenance work on both berths can be carried out to protect the resilience of the structures whilst maintaining full operations and capacity at the port.
