Cardiff and Mersey Dock Company
The Cardiff and Mersey Dock Company was a British shipping and dock operator formed in the 19th century to manage and develop port facilities at Cardiff and Liverpool (Mersey). It facilitated trade and transportation by owning and operating docks, warehouses, and related infrastructure, helping ships unload and load goods efficiently. The company played a key role in supporting maritime commerce during the industrial era, contributing to the economic growth of these major British port cities. Over time, it evolved through mergers and acquisitions, eventually becoming part of larger port operating entities.
