Future
In August 2012 it was announced that Merseytravel were initiating a review into cost saving on Mersey Ferries operations after the service is running at a £1 million annual loss. Another aspect threatening the ferries' future is whether Merseytravel will be in a financial position to replace the current vessels should the need arise. The current three vessels are the oldest ever to ply the river. At least TWO replacement vessels may be needed around 2020 and the Royal Daffodil is to be withdrawn from service in early 2013.
