'Exciting times' for the Steam Packet, says Harmer
In addition to the new landing stage being built in Liverpool for the Steam Packet, Heysham is also due a refurb over the next two or three years.
That from Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer, who's been speaking following Friday's ground-breaking ceremony for the new facility on Merseyside.
That's due to be completed by summer next year, at a cost of £38 million.
Mr Harmer says the work at Heysham is in the pipeline:
Coastguard team rescues two-year-old Jack Russell "Teddy"
Cliff technician winched down to collect him from Laxey cliffside
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
New child employment rules come into force
Tynwald approved them in December 2025
