Stena Line: Fishguard route suspended as ship plugs P& O gap
Sailings on a Welsh ferry route have been suspended as The Operator tries to plug gaps left in Northern Ireland .
Stena Line has cancelled all crossings between Fishguard, Pembrokeshire and Rosslare, Republic of Ireland until 12 April.
This Was due to the suspension of P& O's services, after saying The Business was not " viable".
Stena Line has now moved a ship to Northern Ireland , could be affected.
Passengers who usually travel from Fishguard are being advised to travel on the Pembroke service instead, as Irish Ferries is accepting Stena Line customers.
" Due to the suspension of P& O's services into Northern Ireland there were supply fears in the region, " Stena Line 's Simon Palmer explained.
To add " additional ferry capacity" The Company has sent the Stena Nordica - its ship on the Holyhead to Dublin route - to help.
However, this left a gap there, so Stena Europe - which usually sails between Fishguard and Rosslare - was moved.
" The issue is also compounded by the timing of The Crisis happening during our annual dry-docking period, where our ships take turns going into the shipyard for a makeover, " Mr Palmer added.
" Otherwise we would've had a spare ship. The Stena Horizon from our Cherbourg route is currently in dry-dock, with that route being covered by the vessel Stena Estrid, which has been moved from her normal route on Holyhead to Dublin. "
The Horizon is due to be out of dry dock on 11 April, which should free up more capacity.
After P& O sacked workers and suspended services at The End of March, hauliers in Northern Ireland warned they were running at 50% capacity because of issues.
John Martin , from The Road Haulage Association, said sitting in Cairnryan in Scotland waiting for a ferry to Larne, sparking food supply concerns.
