Birkenhead Ferry Port Information

About The Port

Birkenhead Port is located in the city of Liverpool, England. Twelve Quays is the name of the ferry terminal here. It was opened in 2002 in order to transport freight and passengers to both the North and Republic of Ireland much quicker. However, for now at least, only Belfast, Northern Ireland and Douglas, Isle of Man are the two destinations that you can travel to from this ferry port as a passenger.

The routes are operated by Stena Line with up to 15 sailings per week.
