Ferry and logistics operator Stena Line has partnered with Anglesey County Council, the local government body, and announced a bid to bring a Freeport to North Wales. The partnership intend to submit a major freeport bid, which they say will bring prosperity and an economic boost to the region. As well as Holyhead port, Stena Line has invested in a major 213-acre site, and is considering a number of sites across the Welsh island. The partners say the proposals will lead to wide-ranging benefits for many parts of the region’s economy.
