A suspected bloom of blue‑green algae has been identified in Princes Dock. In order to prevent the algae from entering the South Docks, the Trust must take precautionary measures. As a result, the Liverpool Link will be closed to navigation while the situation is assessed and we work with the dock owner, Peel, to prevent any further spread. Boaters wishing to travel to Salthouse Dock or Albert Dock may still do so via alternative access by entering the docks from the River Mersey. If you require further information or guidance when planning your passage, please contact our North West Customer Service team on 0303 040 4040, who will be happy to assist. Blue‑green algae can be very harmful further information and guidance is available here
