Welcome to the home of Liverpool Pilotage Services

Liverpool Pilotage Services provide pilotage services to the Port of Liverpool and the River Mersey.

Numbering more than 45, the Liverpool Pilots provide a vital service to the large number of docks that line the world famous River Mersey.

Pilots have been working the River Mersey since the first industrial docks were founded, and as such are an integral part of the River Mersey, Liverpool, and Wirral's history.

In the course of their work the Liverpool pilots are privy to some of the most fantastic sights, and always have a camera to hand to capture the moment for their memories and to share with the rest of the world. Check out our image galleries for a wide variety of pictures charting our history as well as our present.
