From Monday 14th June, Stena Line‘s Belfast to Heysham service operated by STENA HIBERNIA and STENA SCOTIA will temporarily relocate to Belfast Harbour‘s Albert Quay Terminal.
“As part of the on-going upgrade and development at our Victoria terminals the next stage of the program for the port infrastructure will be the refurbishment of the existing linkspan which serves the Belfast – Heysham vessels. To facilitate the work required to complete the infrastructure changes, Stena Line has made temporary arrangements to relocate the Belfast – Heysham service again to Albert Quay within Belfast Port commencing on Monday 14th June 2021.
During this period of relocation, we will only be able to accommodate driver accompanied vehicles and unaccompanied trailers for shipment. No trade vehicles or other unaccompanied traffic can be accepted for shipment on this service. There will be no change to the existing sailing schedule in operation on the Belfast-Heysham service during this period.
The Sunday 13th June 20:00hrs departure from Heysham will arrive and discharge as scheduled on Monday 14th June and all vehicles on this sailing will be available for collection from Victoria Terminal 1. The first sailing from Belfast will be the Monday 14th June at 20:00hrs– all vehicles booked on this sailing should check in at Albert Quay.
