    Hope for Customs at cruise terminal

    Nov 5 2008 by David Bartlett, Liverpool Daily Post

    Hope for Customs at cruise terminal

    UPGRADING Liverpool?s Pier Head to become a base for cruise liners to start and finish their journeys moved a major step closer last night.

    Steve Broomhead, chief executive of the North West Development Agency, said his group was fully behind upgrading the current ?20m Cruise Liner Terminal ? which currently only acts as a port of call.

    The Daily Post revealed on Monday that cruise giant TUI was not proceeding with initial plans to introduce Liverpool into its Thomson Cruises schedule after two test visits.

    As there are no baggage handling facilities, customs, or immigration available to service the Cruise Liner Terminal, voyages starting or ending their journey have to use the rather primitive Langton terminal in Bootle.

    It is deep in north Liverpool?s freight dock system, rather than the new terminal next to the Pier Head which is in the shadow of the historic Three Graces.

    Last night Mr Broomhead said the facilities needed to transform the Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal into a full turnaround destination would cost about ?500,000.

    ?I am behind making sure we get full turnaround facilities. The cruise term-inal is one of the most successful projects that the agency has been involved in.

    ?We have re-opened that gateway to the world, but we want people to be able to start and end their voyages in Liverpool.

    The terminal was built with money from the EU, the NWDA, and the council.

    As there were funding rules which prevent public money being used to give the new Cruise Liner Terminal an unfair advantage over other commercially-owned port facilities in the UK and Europe, council officers fear having to pay the cash back unless the issue is handled properly.

    However, Mr Broomhead said he believed this could be overcome. John Kelly, executive director for regeneration at Liverpool Council, said negotiations were under way with Peel Holdings, owners of the Port of Liverpool, Merseytravel, the cruise liner industry, the EU and the NWDA ?to develop a commercial venture which will result in a top class facility to start cruises from?.

    The council is discussing this with Peel as well as options including the com-pany building a new terminal or in the short term improve facilities at Langton.

    Deputy Labour opposition leader Paul Brant said: ?The city needs tourism regenera-tion now, not tomorrow.?

    It is estimated that the city could miss out on an annual ?4.5m with the decision by TUI not to introduce Liverpool into a 30-cruise programme which would have carried 50,000 passengers with a liner based in the city.

    Liverpool council leader Warren Bradley said: ?We need to build on the great success which has been enjoyed by the cruise liner terminal since it opened and which has boosted the region?s economy by several million pounds.?
