A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #IsleofMan and #Liverpool City Region aims to strengthen #economic, cultural, and political ties. The agreement focuses on areas such as business, #tourism, #transport, #health, #energy, and public services. The regions share a long history, enhanced by the opening of a new Isle of Man #ferry terminal in Liverpool, which generated £3.2m for the local economy. This MoU is seen as a significant step towards fostering growth and development through increased collaboration. Both Mayor Steve Rotheram and Isle of Man Chief Minister Alfred Cannan highlighted the importance of closer economic ties and mutual benefits. The agreement also includes an annual conference, alternating between the two regions, and will be reviewed regularly to expand cooperation. With strong business links, including £2bn of annual trade, the partnership aims to open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and community development.

I call "bullshit", BlackBall!

The operator of a #ferry service between #Vancouver Island and Washington state says it’s sorry for “unintentionally” raising the #Canadian flag upside down as it entered #Victoria harbour on Sunday.

The #BlackBallFerryLine, which runs a ferry between Victoria and #PortAngeles, Wash., says raising the flag on approach to the harbour is part of a “routine practice,” and the mistake was “fixed immediately.”

Reading this article on new #technology in the world's largest electric ferry, being built in Tasmania, Australia: abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/bui I was reminded of the #ferry tokens I have covered on the site. Recently this one from Stockholm, Sweden: coinofnote.com/sweden-45-ore-s but even older, and back to #Australia, this Port Jackson and Manly #Steamship Company pass: coinofnote.com/port-jackson-ma

Are any ferries still using #tokens or metal passes? Please let me know!
