The reason for the heavy roll was probably due to the slow speed entering Holyhead. While the ships have stabilisers, they are ineffective at slow speed.

The Irish Sea is probably the roughest in the World. Particularly where it hits the Welsh coast. Biscay is like a millpond in comparison as the waters are deeper and you don't get the funnel between Ireland and Wales.

@@TKM11370 The North Sea off Scotland is even worse. Read up on the Artic Convoys. Deep water is never as bad as shallow water hence why the Irish Sea is so bad. You have 3000 miles of Atlantic Ocean funnelling between Wales and Ireland. The water is pretty shallow so the waves really build. Deeper water you tend to get smoother waves.
I live by the coast. My great-grandfather, who passed on when I was 10, was a fisherman on small to medium boats. I get seasick just watching videos like this...I didn't inherit sea legs.

A little sporty, but ferries tend to have a very shallow draft which enables them to navigate ferry terminals and that tends to make them wallow and uncomfortable. There is nothing to be concerned about as they are very seaworthy and the crew are well used to the crossings, the only concern is avoiding the occasional puddle of sickness . 🤢
Thats nothing, to appreciate it you need to be a hundreds of miles out at sea away from the shelter of land to really see the power of a storm, i spent a good few years at sea and seen massive swells of 60ft plus in hurricane force weather

Shame Irish ferries treated their Irish seaman so disgustingly. Would never use this company all the time they use cheap labour over Irish seaman. How does their management sleep at night !!!!
Hi Adrianne. Thanks for watching! This epic storm was forecast long in advance. When my ship departed Dublin the weather was fine however the winds picked up considerably off UK.

She is of average size, not huge. Set het next to a container ship or a ULCC then she would look very small.
At the time she was built, she was the biggest in the world, and she's not that old ! Get your facts straight.
Anything next to a ULCC looks small 🙄
