Gateways of International Trade
Ports
Ports are the chief gateways for international trade, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers between different regions of the world. These harbors and ports offer essential services such as docking, loading, unloading, and storage facilities for cargo. Port authorities are responsible for maintaining navigable channels, coordinating tugs and barges, and providing labor and managerial services to ensure smooth operations. The significance of a port is often measured by the volume of cargo it handles and the number of ships it accommodates. The quantity of cargo managed by a port reflects the level of development in its surrounding hinterland.
