The schedule for works to improve mooring arrangements at the government’s ferry terminal in Liverpool has had to be changed again.
Recent adverse weather on a preceding job in Wales is continuing to affect the availability of barge Lara 1, which is a heavy lifting crane, meaning that work to modify the mooring fenders at the terminal has been unavoidably delayed again.
The contractors have been unable to source an alternative barge.
As a result, the DoI has asked the Steam Packet to reschedule the November 22 and 23 sailings to operate to and from Heysham.
The DoI has apologised to travellers for any inconvenience caused.
