Il canale marittimo di Manchester (in inglese: Manchester Ship Canal) è un canale di 58 chilometri nel nord-ovest dell'Inghilterra. Progettato per fornire alla città di Manchester l'accesso diretto al Mare d'Irlanda, fu costruito tra il 1887 e il 1894 ad un costo di 15 milioni di sterline (che nel 2010 è 1,27 miliardi di sterline) e è quindi il canale navigabile più lungo del mondo.

Il canale segue i fiumi Mersey e Irwell per la maggior parte del suo percorso ed è costellato da numerose chiuse. Vari tipi di imbarcazioni possono prenderlo, dalla piccola imbarcazione costiera al cargo intercontinentale, ma non è abbastanza largo per le navi moderne.
Il canale non è più considerato un'importante rotta di trasporto, ma continua a trasportare 6 milioni di tonnellate di merci ogni anno. Dal 1993 è gestito da un proprietario privato.

[de] Manchester Ship Canal
Der Manchester Ship Canal ist ein Kanal mit 58 km Länge im Nordwesten von England. Südlich von Liverpool an der Mündung des River Mersey in die Irische See beginnend, folgt er dem Verlauf des Flusses sowie des River Irwell bis Manchester. Das auffälligste Bauwerk des Kanals ist der Barton Swing Aqueduct.[en] Manchester Ship Canal
The Manchester Ship Canal is a 36-mile-long (58 km) inland waterway in the North West of England linking Manchester to the Irish Sea. Starting at the Mersey Estuary near Liverpool, it generally follows the original routes of the rivers Mersey and Irwell through the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. Several sets of locks lift vessels about 60 feet (18 m) to the canal's terminus in Manchester. Landmarks along its route include the Barton Swing Aqueduct, the world's only swing aqueduct, and Trafford Park, the world's first planned industrial estate and still the largest in Europe.[es] Canal marítimo de Mánchester
El canal marítimo de Mánchester (en inglés: Manchester Ship Canal) es una vía navegable interior de 58 km (36 mi) en el noroeste de Inglaterra que une Mánchester con el mar de Irlanda. Partiendo del estuario del Mersey, cerca de Liverpool, sigue generalmente las rutas originales de los ríos Mersey e Irwell a través de los condados históricos de Cheshire y Lancashire. Varios juegos de esclusas elevan los buques unos 18 m (60 pies) hasta Mánchester, donde se construyó la terminal del canal. Entre los principales hitos de su ruta se encuentran el acueducto giratorio de Barton, el único acueducto giratorio del mundo, y Trafford Park, el primer polígono industrial planificado del mundo y aún hoy el más grande de Europa.- [it] Canale marittimo di Manchester
