The terminal was officially opened on 21 September 2007 by the Duke of Kent when Cunard’s QE2 berthed at the terminal. The current terminal is composed mainly of a floating landing stage, with a small passenger terminal building, “Tent”.
I think in the early days, there wasn’t many cruise ships visiting, but now, it must of paid for itself.
Who would have thought 2 years ago the bottom would have fell out of the cruising boom.
