Report Overview
Completed preliminary assessment (PA) summary 3/2026: Stena Estrid
Synopsis
At 0750 on 7 January 2026, the roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) ferry Stena Estrid, operating its regular route from Dublin, Ireland, made contact with an unprotected turning fender at the northern extent of Terminal 3 at Holyhead Port, Wales (Figure 1). Before backing in, Stena Estrid had turned to port north of the jetty, during which a tug was made fast on the ferry’s port aft quarter. As Stena Estrid made contact, the ferry’s hull was holed just below the waterline in the starboard engine room and above the waterline on the cargo deck (Figure 2).
