Steam Packet Warns Of Disruption To Sailings

Interesting news for Heysham from Stena.

They’ve just had the keel laying ceremony for the first of  two of their New Max class freight Ro-Ro. Both to cover Heysham Belfast.

It comes after Stena & Peel Ports have signed a port use agreement for the rest of the 21st century. 

It’s significant for us in terms of their size. Heysham will have to be well dredged.  They’re significantly longer, 147 metres as opposed to 133 metres, broader, and match the SPCo draft. I’m sure Stena have more clout to make sure that Peel keep Heysham navigable.

And even when ( if ) it’s ready it won’t be able to use its home port of Ardrossan until 2028 because it’s having to be “reconfigured” to accommodate Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa
