PLANS are being worked on which would see Plymouth's Millbay Docks become a key strategic freight port and cruise terminal.
Plymouth City Council, Associated British Ports, and Brittany Ferries have combined to press the Government for funding to expand operations at the docks to allow the site to welcome superyachts and water taxis.
The organisations are working on a funding strategy which is likely to consider strategic Government cash available for freight, net-zero, and ports, as well as private investment.
While the details are being worked up, the changes proposed for the port are expected to include improvements to the quayside - not just for ferry and cruise passengers, but to enable a new generation of freight to come into the country from the continent and beyond.
Cllr Richard Bingley, Plymouth City Council's new leader, ABP chief executive Henrik Pedersen, and Christophe Mathieu, chief executive of Brittany Ferries, have agreed a tripartite arrangement to share and develop ambitions to expand the port's capabilities and potential.
