Since 1750 we’ve been looking after the Port of Lancaster, currently operating at Glasson Dock. We are a Trust Port and have responsibilities towards the navigable channel of the River Lune, for both commercial and leisure vessels.

Glasson Dock is a tidal port with two commercial river berths and a 15 metre wide gate that gives access to an inner dock and a further three berths.
