The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company
 PROFILE
If you're waiting in Liverpool for a ferry 'cross the Mersey (and old enough to remember the Gerry and the Pacemakers hit), you're probably on a dock owned by The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, the UK's #2 port operator behind Associated British Ports. Mersey Docks operates the port of Liverpool on the river Mersey and two ports on the river Medway. The company also owns container shipping lines (BG Freight, Coastal Container) that serve Europe and Irish Sea ports. Subsidiary Portia Management Services is an international consultant on port operations. Mersey Docks has expanded its operations by acquiring the port at Heysham in Lancashire. It plans to operate four ports in southern Africa through a joint venture.
