ports and shipping

Ports are specialized facilities along coastlines or rivers where ships dock to load and unload goods. Shipping involves the transportation of these goods across waters using cargo ships. Ports handle various tasks such as customs, storage, and logistics to ensure cargo moves efficiently from ships to other transportation modes or distribution points. They serve as key hubs in global trade, connecting producers and consumers worldwide. Effective port and shipping operations are essential for the timely and cost-effective movement of goods across countries and continents.
