Those planning to take a
cruise holiday this year may be interested to learn that the Texan port of Galveston is to benefit from a $10 million for improvement works.
The area around pier 14-18 of the port will now be redeveloped and revitalised.
Facilities will be modernised and expanded to accommodate large cruise liners and cargo vessels.
Port director Steve Cernak commented: "The Port of Galveston is extremely appreciative of this funding, which will be used to improve areas of the port that suffered significant damage as a result of Hurricane Ike."
