Cruise liner plans don't allow for dredging costs

IOM Shipping Association's concerns on Harbours Strategy

Plans for a deeper berth in Douglas to allow cruise liners to dock don't take into account dredging costs.

That's the belief of the Treasurer of the Isle of Man Shipping Association.

Russell Kent was speaking following Tynwald's approval of the 2018 Harbours Strategy.
