About Our Liverpool Location
In Liverpool, our transport and container depot brings road haulage, container storage, and specialist container services together at one of the UK’s best-connected west-coast port and logistics hubs. Located at East Hornby Dock, the site places road transport and container depot operations close to Liverpool2, the port’s deep-water container terminal, as well as rail freight connections and major road routes serving the North West, Midlands, and beyond. Following a multi-million-pound redevelopment, our Liverpool location has evolved from a long-established transport depot into a fully integrated transport and off-dock container depot operation. Container storage, handling, maintenance and repair now sit alongside dedicated road haulage, giving shipping lines, hauliers, and cargo owners greater flexibility over how containers are moved, held, prepared and released through the Port of Liverpool, including uncleared cargo stored securely under HMRC bonded approval. See what Liverpool offers below or contact our team to discuss your requirements.
