  I note a number of people keep quoting a figure of £1bn or more as the sale price of the port, however the only figures I have seen regarding the "price" for the sale of the port have been in the £350-500m range, of course I could well have missed a later valuation figure; so I was just wondering if someone could point me to the press report or press release that mentions this larger number.
  
  There are numerous opportunities for any future operator of the port, whether that is the current DHB operation or a future purchaser/investor, as Vic points out there is significant opportunities connected to marina operations (for both the town and the port operator); there are also opportunities to exploited connected to the new generation of "super ferries" but that will require investment in new infrastructure, as David has said DHB has some substantial parcels of land that could be sold to fund development of the port or a new operator not bound by the charter could develop the land themselves etc.
