The Port of Liverpool, part of Peel Ports Group and one of the UK’s largest port operators, has announced a number of record-breaking achievements across its container terminals division.

The Port safely handled a total of 52,300 containers (89,400 TEUs) during the month of March, beating a previous record of 47,200 containers (81,750 TEUs) in October 2019, in what it hails as a landmark moment in its history.

In addition, Liverpool2 further cemented its position as a serious player in global port operations by successfully deploying five cranes simultaneously earlier this week for the very first time since the terminal opened in 2016, as it handled the MSC Hong Kong in a record 4516 container moves (7350 TEUs).
