L2 Leader photographed 11 March 2014 at one of the Pilot berths in the River Mersey.
She was previously operating as a Harbour Master vessel and was called Medway Leader before leaving Sheerness Docks on 13 September 2013 on the back of a low loader and making the journey North to Liverpool.
She has presumably been renamed L2 Leader because of the new Liverpool 2 Container Terminal currently being constructed by Peel Ports in the River Mersey.
This facility is designed to double the current container handling capacity of the port from 750,000 TEU to 1,500,000 TEU / Year and will be able to accommodate much larger vessels that currently are unable to enter the dock system.
