Elizabeth Harbour Terminal to be upgraded

The work is part of a major programme of investment at both the harbour and the airport

Elizabeth Terminal is being reconfigured to provide better facilities for departing ferry passengers.

The work is part of a major programme of investment at both the harbour and airport which the ports said would take several years to complete.

The changes will include creating a departure lounge for passengers, a children's play area and facilities for passengers with disabilities.

The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, in time for the summer season.

Port Operations and Security Manager Robin Fitzgerald said: "We know the current facilities for foot passengers are not always comfortable during peak times and we want to provide a departure lounge where our customers can sit down, relax and access refreshments before their ferry departs.

"This modification of the terminal will extend the area after security and create a pleasant waiting area where travellers can enjoy the amenities before boarding their ferries. "
