<p>Although Holyhead Port falls within the Welsh Government’s purview, it is strategically
significant to the UK. It is the UK’s second busiest ‘Roll on-Roll off’ port and its
commercial freight tonnage is increasing year on year. It is vital to the UK economy
and specifically to North Wales, the North of England and the Midlands.</p><p> </p><p>It
is therefore positive that the North Wales Growth Deal, which is jointly funded by
the UK and Welsh Governments, is currently expected to invest significantly into developing
the port’s infrastructure. This includes renovation works to the harbour breakwater,
connectivity improvements from the railway station to the ferry terminal, additional
hardstanding, as well as additional capacity for large freight and cruise ships to
berth in the harbour.</p>
