Serious concern over passenger fares and services

Wednesday, 3 November 2010 01:55

Economic Development Minister Allan Bell will today (Wednesday) meet Steam Packet management, as discussions continue over the company’s future.

It follows the loss of major freight customers to Ramsey-based Mezeron, which has begun a daily container-based freight service between Douglas and Liverpool.

Mr Bell says there is great concern about the potential impact on passenger fares and services:
