00:00A new Mersey ferry is moving closer to entering passenger service after a licensing application was submitted for the vessel.
00:08The Royal Daffodil, built at Camel Lard in Birkenhead, is expected to join the fleet following investment of £26 million.
00:17The application to Wirral Council includes permission for food, drink, live music and recorded music on board.
00:24The arrival of the new ferry will mean there will be two ferries in use once again.
00:29Following the retirement of the Royal Iris earlier this year, the Snowdrop has been the only ferry in operation.
00:36Having just one ferry in operation has proved problematic as it means when Snowdrop has any faults, all services are
00:43halted.
