Irish Ferries Epsilon seems to be taking a bit of a different route recently between Dublin and Holyhead extending the journey to 5 hours. Marine Traffic shows the ship heading north on departures and turning when almost level with Warrenpoint.
Irish Ferries ship taking twice as long to make Dublin to Holyhead crossing
The ship has been taking a scenic route over the past few days which means journeys are taking five hours
An Irish Ferries crossing from Holyhead to Dublin is taking five hours to complete - almost twice as long as normal.
The journey normally takes between two and two-and-a-half hours but a statement on the Irish Ferries website blamed "operational issues" for the delay on its Epsilon ferry.
As a result the vessel is being forced to make a significant detour to make the crossing over the Irish Sea.
Irish Ferries declined to comment further on the reason for the longer crossing.
Epsilon is one of three Irish Ferries ships that run a service between Holyhead and Dublin.
The other two ships - Ulysses and Swift - are operating as normal.
