Liverpool's new cruise terminal has moved a step closer after the council submitted an application for the latest stage of the project.
The council got outline planning permission for the new terminal, which will be on Princes Dock, in 2018.
And images released last year show how the striking new waterfront building would welcome passengers into Liverpool.
The terminal should allow larger ships to enter the city and potentially opens up new routes for people leaving from Merseyside.
However the council has since had to clear other hurdles before the project can progress, though officers said earlier this year the project is still on track to open in 2021.
The development would see the existing derelict jetty demolished and replaced by a new terminal on a jetty in the Mersey.
A new 200-bed hotel would also be built alongside it.
Now a new application for listed building consent has been submitted by the council , which would give it the all clear to construct the parts of the new jetty and terminal which would affect the waterfront's harbour wall, which is a protected structure.
The report reads: "The submitted Heritage Statement identifies an impact of ‘lower end of less than substantial’ in regard to the grade II listed seaward retaining wall entrance to Princes Half Tide Dock.
"The proposed works will inevitably result in some level of change to the archaeological and architectural value of the listed dock entrance."
When completed the terminal will provide a new permanent entry point for visitors on cruises to the city .
The new terminal would enable larger vessels of up to 3,600 passengers to visit Liverpool.
It will also potentially open up new destinations to people from the city and the surrounding area who want to go on cruises sailing from the terminal.
