Expressions of interest to be sought in near future
The Department of Infrastructure will soon be seeking private companies to operate the Island's marinas.
Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer confirmed at a Tynwald committee hearing looking at the harbours strategy that a call for expressions of interest will go out in the near future.
The DoI wants to improve the facilities at Manx marinas to attract more visitors, and increase the number of berths available for local yacht-owners.
Mr Harmer believes the private sector will be able to make faster progress than government:
Ongoing incident at Ronaldsway airport
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
