Broad told Treasury keeping cost of crossing Irish Sea 'under review'
An MHK has called on government to assert more influence over the Island’s strategic sea link saying Manx businesses are being placed at ‘great competitive disadvantage’.
Ayre and Michael’s Stephen Broad says the road haulage and agricultural sector is being particularly impacted due to the cost of crossing the Irish Sea.
In the House of Keys this week he was told Treasury is closely involved in monitoring fuel prices and surcharges levied by the Steam Packet Company.
Minister Michael Crowe says his department ‘remains mindful’ for the need to be competitive and the situation will be kept under review:
