Chris Robertshaw believes that is one of many aspects which need addressing as part of an over-arching assessment following a sharp decline in visitor numbers.
The latest passenger survey shows a drop of 8.9 per cent in 2017, the lowest here for a quarter of a century.
East Douglas member Mr Robertshaw says while the structure sucks much profit off-Island, Steam Packet management is not to blame.
