Liverpool Port: Safety
Transport
Bill Esterson (Sefton Central, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment she has made of the potential effects on maritime safety of a turnaround cruise facility at Liverpool.
Michael Penning (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Roads and Motoring), Transport; Hemel Hempstead, Conservative)
The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (Peel Ports) is the harbour authority responsible for safety in this area. The provisions of the Port Marine Safety Code, merchant shipping regulations and the international conventions on ship safety are sufficient to assure the safety in port areas of ships and other port users.
