#NewBerth - Isle of Man ferry services will require significant investment from the Manx government for a new Liverpool landing stage.

According to IOM Today, Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne and senior officers will be meeting Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson in the city this week to discuss a scheme, previously estimated at £15m to relocate the berth from its historic Pier Head site at Prince’s Dock.

The new location will be just to the north at Waterloo Dock to which a new access road will be constructed. Work could start in 2017.
