A new Mersey Ferry is to be built for the first time in 60 years.
Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has commissioned the multimillion project to "ensure that the iconic Ferry Cross the Mersey will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.”
It is expected that the state-of-the-art new vessel will be constructed at the historic Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, supporting jobs, apprenticeships and development opportunities for the region.
