Bromborough Dock Port (GBBRD / GBBHK) is a subport of Liverpool. It is situated at the mouth of the Pool.
Officially opened on 17 April 1931, the port replaced a smaller dock and wharf built at Bromborough Pool in 1895, allowing for larger ocean-going vessels to berth. It was provided with a link to the Birkenhead Railway as part of the Lever Brothers private railway network, which remained fully operational until 1969.
The port handled a wide variety of cargoes, including paper, timber, animal and plant oils and fats (resin, tallow, palm oil and copra). The types of vessels regularly calling at this port were general cargo vessels, accounting for about 46%; and high-speed craft, taking up around 17%. The maximum length of the vessels recorded to having entered this port is 102 meters. The maximum draught is 6.3 meters. The maximum deadweight is 5,941t.
By the 1980s, a gradual decline in goods traffic precipitated the decision to close the dock. Most of the site was used for landfill between 1991 and 2006. Since the cessation of waste disposal operations, the area has been landscaped into a public park called Port Sunlight River Park which opened in August 2014.
