Holyhead Port is set to return to normal operation this Summer as T3 is set to return to operation on July 1.
The terminal was damaged back in December due to contact with two ferries during weather caused by Storm Darragh. The damage is understood to have happened on December 6 and 7 before the red weather warning for the storm came into force.
Work to repair Terminal 3 has been ongoing since December. Terminal 5 opened to port traffic in order to keep normal operations at Holyhead Port.
A spokeswoman for Holyhead Port said: '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.'
Stena Line has said that it will return to its former timetable that was in place before Holyhead Port was shut from December 7 to January 16. While it had retained the frequency of the Dublin to Holyhead route, there was some adjustments to the sailing timetable.
Johan Edelman, Stena Line Trade Director (Irish Sea South) said: 'We are pleased with the news that Holyhead Port plan to have T3 returned to operation on 1 July. Whilst the frequency of our ferry services on the Dublin-Holyhead route have not been impacted by the closure of T3, we have had to make some minor adjustments to our sailing timetable.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank our freight and travel customers for their understanding over the last number of months. Our customer service teams are already engaged in the process of advising all of our freight and travel customers about the imminent reopening of T3 and we will be updating our web booking and social media channels with the timetable adjustment which will come into effect from 1 July.'
