Costs related to a plan to extend one of the piers in Douglas Harbour used by ferry operator, the Isle of Man Steam Packet have yet to be finalised.

That's according to the interim director of the Department of Infrastructure's Harbours Division

It wants to install a marine dolphin and footbridge on the King Edward VIII Pier - this would include installing a mooring platform and mooring bollard.

The work is being described as one of the first steps of the Harbours Strategy approved by Tynwald in 2018.

£3.25 million was allocated for the project in the Budget but Paul Grace told Manx Radio (incl. audio) that total costs are unclear.
