‘Ambitious’ plan proposed for cruise ships to sail into Glasgow
A proposal is being mooted to bring large cruise ships down the River Clyde all the way to Glasgow.
‘Ambitious plans’ would see cruise ships dock at the King George V Dock in Govan.
Greenock is currently the cruise ship gateway to the city of Glasgow.
Operator Peel Ports presented a proposal to West of Scotland MSP Russell Findlay who is supporting it.
“Seeing cruise ships coming up the Clyde into the centre of Glasgow would be a huge boost to Scotland’s biggest city and I’m delighted to give my party’s full support.”
“If this happens, it has the potential to bring in huge numbers of visitors which would not only help benefit the economy but rejuvenate the riverside.”
“I would urge the Scottish Government and city council to encourage rather than stifle enterprising ideas like this.”
Councillor John Daly is another in favour of the proposal.
“I wholeheartedly support the plans from Peel Ports to bring cruise ships to the heart of the city,” John said.
“I am proud to represent this city and will always champion proposals like this which could deliver a much-needed jobs boost for Glasgow.”
Peel Ports says allowing cruise ships down the Clyde into Glasgow have been ‘discussed in principle’ many times without success.
“The Port of Greenock remains the Clyde’s cruise terminal, following the major investments into the facilities over recent years,” Peel said.
