Spring is slowly arriving here, with the dandelions already out and about. The first cruiseliner came yesterday, also a bit earlier than usual. But it remains a tad on the chilly side.
The cruiseship Ambition docked at a new quay, dubbed the Deep Water Terminal, built over the last few years at a cost of £59 million. This comes hard on the heels of the Newton Marina, built for £5 million between 2019 and 2021. That seems to be a well-used facility. The DWT will not just play host to the 90-odd cruiseliners we're expecting this year (some will still dock alongside the piers in the town centre), but in time, will also receive bulk carriers (for coal and roadsalt). The preparations for that are not yet complete. The DWT has also prompted the double-tracking of the road to Arnish, but I have not yet been down that way to check on progress.
