Cornwall Council has been asked by the Department for Transport to submit plans for the development of proposals at both St Marys, Scilly and Penzance harbours to preserve and enhance the sea link between the two ports.
The schemes involve the development and extension of the quay at St Marys and carrying out capital dredging works to deepen Penzance harbour, as well as remedial works to protect the South/Lighthouse pier structure, highway improvements with the possible construction of a breakwater in the future.
The total value of both schemes is estimated about £16,000,000.
