Douglas Central MHK Peter Shimmin has tabled a series of Tynwald questions about the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
Three different ministers have been called upon to respond with written answer to his queries.
Shimmin asks Treasury Minister Michael Crowe: “What measures are used to assess the affordability of ferry travel as part of Treasury’s shareholder oversight of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company?”
Infrastructure Minister Jason Moorhouse will be asked what controls, if any, are provided under the Sea Services Agreement “in relation to variations in passenger and vehicle fares arising from demand-based pricing”.
Shimmin’s third question is for Enterprise Minister Robert Cowell.
He wants to know what assessment the Department for Enterprise “has undertaken of the impact of Isle of Man Steam Packet Company passenger and vehicle fares on visitor demand and expenditure in the island”.
With each question, the minister has until November 24 to give a reply.
