Berthing for Mersey terminal project queried
Investigations have begun into how a floating landing stage in the river Mersey would service a new ferry terminal at Prince's Half Tide Dock.
Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer confirmed in the House of Keys today (13 June) initial feasibility studies for a scheme to replace the current Pier Head facility, are complete.
The Manx government is weighing options for a new terminal, and and has won Tynwald funding approval to develop the Half Tide Dock site half a mile up-river.
However, tidal conditions mean a floating landing stage or a major dredging scheme will be needed for passenger vessels to berth.
Mr Harmer promised his team will research the most suitable engineering solution, after Mr Ashford raised his concerns:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
