Cruise ships visiting the Island could be facing a huge 55 per cent rise in the fees they could end up paying.

When Tynwald sits next week, members will be asked to approve regulations covering harbour fees and dues.

The cap on harbour dues from cruise ships could rise 55 per cent from £3,213 to £5,000.

The Department of Infrastructure says the increase reflects the rising costs of providing harbour services.
