[20knots]

I thought it may be of interest to record where ships are/were over Christmas

Thanks for this.

Has the Adventurer always operated on St Stephens Day?

[IFPete]

It operated last year.

There is a footnote on the sailing updates page in respect of tonight's 20.40 hrs.  Dublin - Holyhead sailing

Please note this sailing will NOT take foot passengers.

Not sure if this restriction also applied to today's 14.00 Holyhead to Dublin

over in the Isle of Man sailings resumed this evening with Ben my Chree taking the 19.40hrs from Douglas to Heysham

As there are no trains running foot pax would be very very few I would think.
