Ground-breaking ceremony commences construction
Following the Manx government's purchase of the Steam Packet, buying the site for the new Liverpool landing stage was the logical thing to do.
That's the view of Chief Minister Howard Quayle, who was speaking after the ground-breaking ceremony took place on Merseyside yesterday.
The £38 million project is due to be completed by summer next year.
Mr Quayle says being in control of the entire route makes sense:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Passengers told to expect disruption as flights are delayed or cancelled
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
Follows private talks in what's described as a 'call to arms' meeting
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Chief Minister says facts are urgently needed
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Families encouraged to apply for Elizabeth Emblem
