People using the Island's harbours to face price rises?

People using the Island's harbours are facing price rises under two proposed orders due to be discussed by Tynwald.

Registering pleasure craft with the Department of Infrastructure is set to rise by five per cent, which the department says reflects rising administration costs.

Also facing a five per cent increase are harbour fees charged for services such as the weighbridge, hiring workboats, rope handling, bailing vessels and diving services.

Both orders will be discussed by members during the court's March sitting.
