Displaying items by tag: New Ferry Terminal

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

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.
