The terminal opened in 2002 and replaced older facilities at Brocklebank and Canada docks in Liverpool. This relocation provided a more modern and efficient infrastructure for ferry operations.
The Twelve Quays Campus offers specialized education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics through modern laboratories and engineering workshops.
A courtesy bus service connects the terminal to Hamilton Square railway station in Birkenhead. Connections are coordinated with Stena Line ferry schedules departing for Belfast.
Operating from this location cuts travel time to Ireland by more than 90 minutes compared to the previous route. This advantage attracts passengers seeking faster crossings to Belfast.
