Heavy delays and cancellations of ferry services between Ireland and Wales are expected due to damage caused by Storm Darragh at Holyhead Port, which is currently closed to marine traffic until at least 6 pm tomorrow.
Trucks and haulage vehicles are expected to back up significantly, with estimates indicating it could take three to four days to clear the queue once operations resume.
The financial impact on hauliers will be substantial, involving ongoing costs such as insurance, salaries, and maintenance, although experts indicate that supply lines may not be significantly affected.
Local authorities and the Irish government are actively monitoring the situation, assessing damage, and preparing to assist those impacted by the storm as they respond to the severe weather conditions.
