Costs related to a plan to extend one of the piers in Douglas Harbour used by ferry operator, the Isle of Man Steam Packet have yet to be finalised.

That's according to the interim director of the Department of Infrastructure's Harbours Division

It wants to install a marine dolphin and footbridge on the King Edward VIII Pier - this would include installing a mooring platform and mooring bollard.

The work is being described as one of the first steps of the Harbours Strategy approved by Tynwald in 2018.

£3.25 million was allocated for the project in the Budget but Paul Grace told Manx Radio (incl. audio) that total costs are unclear.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
