Photograph: Bryan O'Brien The combination of Storm Darragh and damage on Friday to port infrastructure in Holyhead, Wales, is causing significant disruption to ferry services in the Irish Sea.ferry Vision, which departed Holyhead at 10.30am on Friday, was still at sea on Sunday, sailing up and down the coast from outside Dublin Bay, to a point out from Clogherhead, Co Louth. Likewise the Stena Adventurer, which left Dublin on Friday night just before midnight, has been keeping a north-south pattern up and down the Irish coast similar to that of the Vision, according to online tracking websites. It is not known how many people are on board the ferries or when and where they are scheduled to land. Another Stena vessel, the Estrid, has been berthed in Dublin since early on Saturday morning.Paul Mescal on Saturday Night Live review: Gladiator II star skewers America’s bizarre views about Irelandand Stena Line websites show all ferry services between Dublin and Holyhead are cancelled on Sunday and Monday, apart from the 20.55 Irish Ferries Ulysses departure from Dublin, which is categorised as being “in doubt”. Customers are being advised to check the websites for updates. On Saturday Irish Ferries posted an update saying Holyhead port had been shut due to “weather damage”. On the online discussion forum Irish Ferry Enthusiasts, commentators said a mooring berth at Holyhead had been damaged during the storm and that the damage was stopping both ferry companies from docking there. This in turn was affecting the ability of ferries to dock at Dublin Port. A spokeswoman for Irish Ferries said the current closure of Holyhead Port was due port infrastructure damage caused during storm Darragh, which is currently being assessed by the port operator. It was not linked to the Ulysses ferry, she said. Online tracking services show the Ulysses has not left Dublin since docking there on Saturday at 8.20am, having come from Holyhead. The fact that ferries that would normally be sailing to Holyhead are still berthed in Dublin may be affecting the ability of incoming ferries to dock there, according to shipping sources. The WB Yeats, which docked in Cherbourg, France, on Friday afternoon, is scheduled to sail for Dublin on Sunday afternoon, according to the Irish Ferries website. Ferry services between Northern Ireland and Scotland were cancelled on Saturday but are now back in operation. The services between Dublin and Holyhead carry a significant amount of freight as well as passengers, including fresh foods and medicines.Ferry services still cancelled as storm damage at Holyhead hits services to and from Dublin ‘It is like losing an old family member’: Storm Darragh fells scores of rare trees at Co Wicklow botanic gardensThree babies committed speeding offences, Garda system shows Paul Mescal on Saturday Night Live review: Gladiator II star skewers America’s bizarre views about IrelandJoan Baez: Do I ever hear from Bob Dylan? ‘Not a word’‘The future is ours’: Syrian rebel leader addresses crowds after overthrowing Assad regime
