On 1 August 2018, Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) made a formal application to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) under section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 for a Harbour Revision Order (HRO) in respect of works to be undertaken within the limits of the Port by Liverpool City Council.

The Order would authorise the construction and maintenance of works and other facilities at the Port within the limits of deviation shown on the associated plans. The works comprise the construction of a reinforced concrete suspended deck, a cruise liner terminal building, a vehicular and pedestrian linkspan bridge, a new floating pontoon and two steel mono pile mooring dolphins.

The Order would also authorise the demolition of the existing timber and concrete decked jetty known as Princes Jetty, as well as modifications to the existing landing stage.
The application is undergoing a 42 day public consultation, starting on 10 August 2018. The deadline for submitting comments is 21 September 2018. For further information on the consultation process, please review the advertisement notice.

We want to know what you think about our draft Sea Fishing (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.

These regulations will clarify how things are enforced and reinstate some enforcement powers to Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Officers (IFCOs).

This will allow IFCOs to directly enforce EU fisheries conservation measures like rules on bass, blue fin tuna and marking of gear.

The proposed order is to modernise the statutory powers and duties of the applicant in its capacity as the harbour authority for Newport Harbour, including the giving of general and special directions, the revocation of existing byelaws, and the power to grant tenancies within the harbour premises and entering into commercial activities, and the provision of services to harbour users.

The proposed order would not authorise the construction or alteration of a project or confer development consent. Accordingly, Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as amended) which is codified by Council Directive 2011/92/EU (as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU) does not apply to the proposals and no environmental statement has been supplied.
