The Course of the River Mersey The river is formed from three tributaries: the River Etherow (a tributary of the River Goyt), the River Goyt and the River Tame, which flows through Greater Manchester. The river starts at the confluence of the River Tame and River Goyt in Stockport, flowing through south Manchester, between Urmston and Sale, towards Warrington. Here it widens, before narrowing, as it passes by Runcorn and Widnes. From Runcorn, the river widens into a large estuary near Ellesmere Port.

  • Ferries to the Rescue
    Ferries to the Rescue Mike Royden (A chapter originally researched and written for Merseyside at War 1939-45, but edited out by the author, as the main focus was on the Home Front, although parts regarding service on the Mersey were retained within the chapter on ‘Defence of the Port’.) Mersey Ferries The Mersey Ferries played an important role in the defence of the port of Liverpool during the Second World War, and also carried out vital war work elsewhere. The Manx ferries too, a familiar site on the river, played an indispensable role, working in many supporting roles for the military and serving with great distinction and honour during the evacuation of Dunkirk. Although the Queensway Mersey Tunnel had opened in 1936, the Mersey Ferries were still essential to both commuters and pleasure seekers alike. Nevertheless, contingency plans for the safe operation of the Mersey ferries had been put in place a full year before outbreak of war. On 24 September 1938, meetings took place at the Mersey Docks & Harbour Building, where it was agreed that there should be no public lighting on the St George’s stage, nor the Wirral stages, while the ferries would only show navigation lights to the exterior at night and inside ‘if lights were necessary in the various rooms on such ferry boats, it would be necessary for all windows to be darkened and possibly for the lighting to be reduced in power’. In the event of an air raid when the ferry was crossing, ‘Such ferry should immediately come to rest and either stem the tide or anchor, and extinguish all lights’.

PURPOSE OF REPORT This report is aimed at providing a summary of key activities within the Mersey Ferries, including an update on progress of the long-term Mersey Ferries Strategy. 2.

BACKGROUND 3.1 The details within this report provide an update of key activities at Mersey Ferries over the last 12 months, including work associated with our response and recovery from the Covid-19 outbreak.

Operational Update and Performance 3.2 Work had progressed well over the Autumn and Winter period of 2019/20, preparing the vessels for their annual survey and planning arrangements for our busy summer season planned for 2020. The plans saw the highest ever number of special cruises planned on the river, including evening cruises, Manchester Ship Canal Cruises and Liverpool Bay Cruises. 3.3 The detailed planning was interrupted with the outbreak of Covid-19, which resulted in a reduction and eventual closure of Mersey Ferry services. The River Explorer (our daily leisure cruise) was cancelled on 24 March 2020 following the national lockdown announcement and the service moved to a cross river commuter service. Following the low number of passengers and reducing demand, the service was suspended fully 30 March 2020 – see chart below for reduction in demand.

PURPOSE OF REPORT This report is aimed at supplementing the regular corporate quarterly performance report submitted to the Transport Committee, providing a summary of key activities within the Mersey Ferries, including an update on progress of the long term Mersey Ferries Strategy. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Transport Committee note the contents of the report. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The details within this report provide an update of key activities at Mersey Ferries since our last update report in July 2018. For details on specific performance on passenger numbers and financials, please refer to the corporate quarterly performance report. Operational Update and Performance 3.2 Whilst members will receive details around the Mersey Ferries patronage, reliability and punctuality measures in the standard corporate performance reports, it is also recognised that an update in other key activities and operational matters would raise awareness of the work on-going within the Service Area. 3.3 Members of the Transport Committee will be aware that works associated with the Engine Management system on board Snowdrop and which were aimed at improving reliability of the vessel in the short term, were completed in March 2018. As a result of the evidence from that work, similar works have been commissioned for Royal Iris of the Mersey and are due for completion in November 2018. 3.4 Another reason for a number of service failures during 2017 related to the vessel entering the docking system on a Friday and Saturday evening – which resulted in failures to the electrical system during re-start the following morning or delays were encountered in accessing the locking system to access the river.
