New Steam Packet MD says securing Liverpool route is vital
The excessive cost of the new ferry terminal in Liverpool is worrying but will be worth it to secure the future of the Merseyside route.
That's the view of the Steam Packet Company's new managing director after it was announced an additional £13.8m is needed for the project.
It takes the spend to more than £52m - the construction is being overseen by the Department of Infrastructure rather than the ferry operator.
But Brian Thomson says all Manx residents have a right to be concerned:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
