#FerryNews - Manx Radio reports that tenders are now in, to build the road that would take passengers to and from the new vessel berth in Liverpool's Princes Half Tide Dock.

An Infrastructure Department is considering specifying the use of liquified natural gas and/or low sulphur diesel, in any replacement Isle of Man Steam Packet vessels.

These details are given in a series of Tynwald written answers (see related coverage). 

There is the indication in these answers of the Manx Government's arms length approach to running the ferry company which means there are some areas where the Infrastructure Department doesnt know specific details.

For example the detailed contractual agreement between the Steam Packet and the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company.
