Excellent! I feared that was going to be late and the opening would have to be delayed.

THE landing stage at Liverpool’s new cruise liner terminal should be finished today.
All pieces of the stage should be secured and work teams are also busy completing foot and road bridges.

By early afternoon there was still only the first section in place. A tug moved alongside this section, and another one by the dry-dock, but I didn't hang around to see if another section was to be fixed in place.
Nice photo, I wonder why they brought another pontoon across yesterday but dunno where its gone, it went over though?
according to the local papers it was supposed to be installed today, (monday) I cannot see it to be the weather?
any ideas/

The third section was there yesterday. The fourth section was installed just after Noon today. It's quite a long structure when all put together.
its just a pity that ark royals now not coming, I was looking forward to seing a modern day warship *sighs* and the significance of ark royal too.
another bad glitch.
kat:shock:
Pic 1 shows the 3 sections, just before Noon. The last pic shows a bolt which secures the last clamp...success.
All four sections.
THanku, Marky, lovely collection of photographs, showing the final sections of the pontoon coming together at last, it was good of you to take time out to show the whole experience
