The Department of Infrastructure (DOI) is seeking planning approval for a new arrivals layout in the Sea Terminal.
It wants to build a new customs area in the current waiting zone and says it has to ‘comply’ with requirements of the Ports & Customs Authority and extend the arrivals hall.
It’s also looking to level the roof in the baggage reclaim waiting area, which backs onto the car park, to make room for a new baggage loading area.
The planning statement says the space is ‘hardly utilised’ because it has low headroom and changing it will remove the ‘pinch point’ created by passengers waiting in the main area.

There is now an opportunity for three artists to design five artwork panels and have their work showcased on Douglas Promenade.
It follows a partnership between the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) and the IOM Arts Council and part of a project to encourage public artworks.
The three artists are to be commissioned to produce a series of artwork panels on Douglas Promenade’s Wave Wall this year.
