The brand new Melville Street, $24 million cruise ship port facility, which has the capacity to accommodate at least two mega cruise ships, opened late last month. The first phase of the project involved the construction of berthing facilities, a new welcome center, and parking facilities for taxis and tour operators. The ceremony also saw a groundbreaking moment for the start of phase two of the project. This will include the construction of a duty free shopping mall on 35,000 sq ft of land.
