'Issue' as in the new Fishguard ferry has been redeployed to Belfast to cover for a sick boat on one of Stena's other crossings.

As this happened at short notice, it's caused pain for passengers arriving by train for the boat after mid-day today, who have been instructed to transfer to Pembroke Dock for the after midnight boat there...
