Liverpool City Council plans to surrender the lease due to 'financial pressures', a report says.
A council, which has owned and run one of the UK's busiest cruise liner terminals for the last fifteen years, is searching for a new operator.
Liverpool City Council said it planned to surrender the Liverpool Cruise Terminal lease due to "financial pressures and a shift in focus".Councillor Harry Doyle said there was "genuine interest" from third parties. The council abandoned plans to build a new terminal on the waterfront last year, after forecast costs spiralled.
A report being considered by a council committee next week states the terminal was always intended to be taken over by a third party but the council ended up running the berth itself."The interest is definitely there and I wouldn't feel comfortable as a politician surrendering our lease if the interest wasn't there".
