About This Seaport
Around 500,000 tonnes of cargo pass through Garston (UN/LOCODE GB GIS) each year, making this Associated British Ports facility a useful Mersey outlet for dry bulk and general cargo. Sitting in an enclosed tidal dock about 10 km upriver from central Liverpool, the port handles steel, grain, animal feed, fertiliser, metals, timber, coal and industrial bulks, plus project and heavy-lift consignments often exceeding 200 tonnes. It is not a container-line port: shippers needing box services use the nearby Port of Liverpool. Over 10,000 m² of flat-store space and around 6,000 m² of HMRC duty-free approved storage support value-added services such as bagging, blending and stock control. Road and rail links connect the dock to north-west England and the Midlands. For containers and deep-sea services, Royal Seaforth and the Liverpool2 terminal are the practical alternatives.
