Tynwald members will be asked to approve an additional £13.8m for the construction of the new ferry terminal in Liverpool.

The Department of Infrastructure says it's needed to address 'a number of issues' since the project began at Prince's Half-Tide Dock back in November 2019.

It's reported the ongoing pandemic has caused numerous problems - including social distancing problems on site, staff shortages and delays.

Infrastructure Minister Tim Baker will ask the court to approve the additional spending.
