Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal Project Secures £20m Grant
Up to £20 million is to be invested by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority into creating the new Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal.
The Single Investment Funding will contribute to the construction of a new terminal building to replace the current temporary terminal on Princes Dock.
Work on the first phase of construction on the new terminal started in May this year, as site investigations were undertaken to understand the geology of the bedrock on which the new terminal complex will be built. Main works will involve the construction of a suspended deck structure and the erection of a vehicular linkspan bridge and pedestrian bridge/walkway to connect the new terminal to the existing landing stage.
In addition, works will also involve improvements to the existing landing stage, including modification of existing buildings such as the lower cruise terminal reception building, relocation of the building on the northern end of the pontoon and creation of ancillary buildings for storage and use by operational staff; improvements to Princes Parade to incorporate pedestrian crossing facilities, provision of terminal parking, pickup and drop off facilities, and supporting development.
Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said: "This is a unique project with the potential to boost the whole of the city region which is why as a Combined Authority we are pleased to be able to offer this substantial support to one of the city council's flagship initiatives."
Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, added: "The new cruise liner terminal is vitally important and will mean that once again we can welcome the greatest cruise ships in the world to the Mersey.
"The construction of this new terminal will mark a new chapter in the city's maritime future as we create a world class experience for the cruise companies and their passengers.
"We are working in partnership with the Combined Authority and some of the very best in the engineering industry to deliver this facility to the very highest standards."
