Hull – any port in a storm?
There are talks of a new passenger cruise terminal at the Port of Hull. Talk about any port in a storm.
As the Yorkshire Post questions, what exactly does the Humber have in common with the Caribbean? Hmm… Errm… Tropical fish?
Still, the article does list why Hull could be a pretty effective port of call – it has the capacity, Hull is central on the east coast with “a catchment area of 40 million people within four hour’s drive”, and it’s a ‘gateway’ to the very beautiful Yorkshire.
Plus, cruise passengers also apparently spend an average of £120 at each place they visit.
That’s an awful lot of fish and chips
Brilliant opportunity for us however to hop on a boat and explore the world. I’m all for it.
