Boat owners face harbour fees hike

Using the Island's harbours is about to get more expensive, with price increases to be put before Tynwald this week.

Harbour dues and charges, pleasure boat and boatman licences and the cost of registering pleasure craft are all set to rise by 5.7 per cent.

The Department of Infrastructure says the rise will help meet the rising cost of providing and administering services.

Members will vote on the price hikes when the court sits from Tuesday.
