"I have no reason to believe it won't be finished by January", says Chris Thomas
The former infrastructure minister is confident the new Liverpool Ferry Terminal will be completed by 1 January next year.
It has become a contentious issue with its completion date pushed back multiple times, and has racked up a bill of more than £70 million.
Passengers could begin to be picked up from March, if the currently published timetable goes to plan.
Chris Thomas hopes it will ease disruption we've seen as of late in years to come:
