The Port of Liverpool is a major port on the River Mersey in Liverpool, England, extending from Brunswick Dock in Liverpool to Seaforth Dock in Seaforth, and including the Birkenhead Docks on the western side of the estuary. Liverpool developed into one of the principal ports of the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries and became a major centre of transatlantic trade, migration, and passenger shipping. Liverpool's Old Dock, opened in 1715, was the world's first enclosed commercial dock. By the early 20th century, Liverpool had become one of the world's leading transatlantic passenger ports. Following the decline of imperial and passenger shipping in the 20th century, the port was redeveloped as a modern freight and container port. It remains one of the United Kingdom's largest ports, handling container, bulk, and cruise traffic. The opening of Liverpool2 in 2016 enabled the port to accommodate Post-Panamax container vessels. Parts of the historic dock system formed the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site from 2004 until its delisting by UNESCO in 2021.
