Additional funds for Liverpool Ferry Terminal 'Can't be Ruled Out'

Construction of the new Isle of Man ferry terminal in Liverpool: additional funds 'can't be ruled out'.

ManxRadio reports that it is hoped the £70m price tag for the new ferry terminal in Liverpool won't increase further, but it can't be ruled out.

That's according to Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall, after he visited the site for the first time.

There's still work to be done, including filling in two large voids at the dock.

Mr Crookall gave an update to Manx Radio's John Moss

Liverpool's New Ferry Terminal Delayed

A completion date for the new £38m Liverpool landing stage for Isle of Man ferries has been delayed.

According to IOMToday, it will be in the summer, as the completion date for the ferry terminal was given as February 2021, but that has been put back to July of that year.

However, Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer said he was hoping it would be ready for the TT, which gets under way at the end of May.

The delay was due to the discharge of planning conditions and some legal agreements taking ’longer than anticipated’, he said.

It was also revealed that dredging is required for the project which Afloat adds will see the Isle of Man Steam Packet use the new terminal.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
