Liverpool2, Deep-water container terminal in Seaforth, United Kingdom
Liverpool2 is a deep-water container terminal in Seaforth designed to handle the largest modern cargo ships. The facility features a long quay with sufficient depth to accommodate contemporary mega-containerships without restrictions.
The terminal was developed in the 2010s and represented a major modernization effort for Liverpool's port infrastructure. Its opening in 2016 symbolized the city's renewed role in international container trade after decades of decline.
The terminal opening ceremony in 2016 brought together local figures including football legends Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Kenny Dalglish.
The site is best reached by public transport since it is located within an active industrial port. Visitors should be aware that this is a working harbor where safety regulations apply to all access.
The terminal processed its largest container movement in 2020 when the MSC Tamara discharged 5,956 TEUs in a single operation.
