Would carrying 20+ kegs of Guinness across on a yacht be classed as smuggling? Asking for a friend

Just claim it is your duty free allowance.

Stenna go to from Birkenhead to Belfast. It is a passenger ferry but it's a much longer journey and presumably more expensive. Seatruck go from Liverpool to Dublin. There are a few vessels (from memory, Pace, Power, Progress and Precision - there may be more) and they're in and out multiple times a day & then there are the Norbay & Norbank from P&O. Seatruck and P&O are freight only to the best of my knowledge.

I'm sure there would be capacity to divert to Liverpool but apparently Peel are not the easiest to deal with. P&O actually looked into Mostyn at some point which is an absolute ballache of a port so they must have been pretty pissed off to do so!

Media reporting one way Lindon to Dublin flights as high as €600 over Christmas due to Hollyhead closure.

Bit odd. No meaningful price increase on Liverpool Dublin air route. Return over crimbo is as usual around £100 or so. I can't see why the price to London would go through the roof.

Are there passenger facilities in Birkenhead or is it freight only?

The only boats I’ve seen in Birkenhead are the ferries across the Mersey!
