New cruise pontoon

Tenders will soon be able to drop off passengers in Douglas during all weather.

A £400,000 project has seen a link bridge built and installed between Circus Beach and the new cruise liner tender pontoon.

Built by Intermarine UK with the main sub-contractor being the Laxey Towing Company, it’s a joint venture between the Tourism and Transport departments to enable tenders to land passengers at all states of tide.

A covered walkway will also be installed connecting the top of the link-bridge towards the Sea Terminal.

Minor works will be carried out before the unit is fully operational.
