Overview:
The Port of Liverpool is located at the mouth of the Mersey River in northwest England and bordering the Irish Sea. It is one of the world’s oldest ports and one of the largest, busiest and most diverse ports in the UK. It is also the second largest deep-water seaport after London.
The superior geographical location is an important reason for the rise of Liverpool. In the local language, "Liverpool" means "muddy water bay", because the nearby river brings a lot of sediment, making the water in the harbour muddy. Although the name is indecent, the river is muddy, but because it is deep in the inland bay, the water is deep and calm, through the North Strait in the west, and the Strait of St. George in the south, it can lead to the Atlantic Ocean. Ships going here and there can also be protected from crossing the English Channel. Crowded and the North Sea has high winds and waves, so Liverpool is still a world-famous natural harbor. In the 8th century AD. Scandinavians migrated here and made a living by fishing. In 1207, in order to conquer and control Ireland, King John of England issued a decree to build a castle and port in Liverpool. Soon, Liverpool developed into a commercial port.
Now Liverpool’s dock area is 11 kilometers long and has more than 50 docks for ships from various countries. Most of these terminals are professional terminals with advanced facilities. The specialization of the wharf can use high-efficiency special machinery and transportation tools, and can rationally arrange the warehouse yard and transportation lines, which greatly improves the efficiency of loading and unloading, the utilization rate of the wharf and the turnover rate of ships. The “Canada” terminal in the middle of the port is equipped with loading, unloading and storage equipment for handling bulk liquid cargoes such as syrup, animal oil, vegetable oil, and chemical liquids; the Tramel oil terminal on the west bank of the Mersey River can berth and load and unload up to 200,000-ton tanker. Others, such as ore, coal, automobiles, sugar, feed, alcohol, and chemicals, also have special terminal facilities for easy loading, unloading and storage. The wharf dedicated to refrigeration equipment also has the most modern facilities for loading and unloading frozen meat, frozen meat and other perishable foods. In 1973, the publication Pu built Europe's largest single terminal-Royal Westforth Wharf, used to load and unload grain. The outermost area of 220 hectares of this wharf was built by reclamation. Its grain loading and unloading platform can directly berth ships with a load of 75,000 tons, and has a large granary with a quota of 133,000 tons. It is extremely modern and is the world's first computer-managed terminal.
