Seaforth Dock

Seaforth Dock (also known as the Royal Seaforth Dock) is a purpose built dock and container terminal, on the River Mersey, England, at Seaforth, to the north of Liverpool. As part of the Port of Liverpool and Liverpool Freeport, it is operated by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Situated at the northern end of the dock system, it is connected to Gladstone Dock to the south, which via its lock entrance provides maritime access to Seaforth Dock from the river.

Despite planning permission having been obtained almost sixty years previously, work commenced during the 1960s on Liverpool's largest dock facility. Opened in 1972, the site consists of about 500 acres and deals mainly in oils, timber, grain and animal feed. The dock became a free port in 1984.¹

In 1999, six wind turbines were installed along the river wall.¹
