Storm Damage Causes Major Disruptions at Holyhead Port in Wales
Darren Murphy, Managing Director of BM Transport, describes significant challenges following the closure of Holyhead Port due to storm damage. With 80 trailers stranded, the disruption affects a wide range of goods, causing delays that may persist past Christmas. While BM Transport is rerouting shipments to Liverpool and Cairnryan, increased demand has led to long wait times. Additional logistical complications arise from customs checks, prompting a temporary relaxation of driving rules by the Irish government, though challenges remain in the UK and Europe.
