Tynwald has given the Department of Infrastucture permission to spend £1.76 million on stabilising and protecting Ramsey's Queen's Pier.
The vote was 11-10 in favour in the House of Keys, with MLCs backing the motion from Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne 7-1.
It's a positive move towards a possible full refurbishment at some time in the future, when more money is available to government.
However, Mr Gawne told the court there was no guarantee that would happen:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Manx Care aiming for 95% of patients to be seen within a year
Onchan Commissioners 'disappointed' at village post office closure
Vice Chair Scott Wilson says service was 'very important' for local community
