The Xlendi cruise liner berthing buoy, which was installed in March 2010, has never been used, Transport Minister Austin Gatt said in answer to a parliamentary question this morning.
Dr Gatt also told parliament that that the new berthing buoy had cost a total of €238,230. The parliamentary question had been put by Labour MP Charles Buhagiar.
Photograph shows the Seabourn Pride at anchor off Xlendi in April 2006.
One assumes, and its always wrong to assume, that sombody did some market research to ascertain if there was a demand for the berthing bouy to see if any cruise liners wanted to call at Xlendi. Another waste of money, but dont worry perhaps one will call in 2012?
Marketing research? what’s that?
To whom was the €238,230 paid?
Once that is established, we can also find out who carried our the marketing research!
Only in Gozo!
I really thought someone had put the decimal point in the wrong place!!!
