Company examines deal offered to government
Sea Alliance won't tender for the sea services contract, but its boss is scrutinising the Steam Packets £170 million proposals.
A past rival for the government contract, Sea Alliance boss Captain Kurt Buchholz, says figures in the pledge document 'don't add up'.
The Department of Infrastructure invites 'expressions of interest' before the tender process in 2022.
Travellers are offered new shops, port facilities, and fare reductions.
Captain Buchholz says why it's not about competing, adding he'll continue making his point as a candidate for Douglas Central in the General Election:
