This para is written and should be removed as it is nonsense.
The post-Panamax ships and containerisation that the world has adopted to distribute its goods are so big that the River Mersey is simply not deep enough in the estuary for them so the shipping trade has had to move to deeper water. Thus, some parts of Birkenhead Docks and Liverpool Docks will never come back into effective port uses because of this and it’s these areas of land that we are working up schemes for to bring them back into use for the needs of this century and to make them once again contribute towards the local economy like they used to.
Seaforth is having a post-Panamax terminal built. The largest ships in the world sail up to Tranmere oil terminal, past Birkenhead and the south Liverpool docks.
This is the statement released by Lyndsey Ashworth on behalf of Peel Holdings in full. One cannot edit someone elses speach. (FACT).
