Seaport

A seaport is a facility located on the coast or an estuary where ships can dock to load and unload cargo or passengers. Seaports are essential for maritime trade and commerce, serving as gateways for goods and people to enter and exit a country. They are equipped with various facilities such as cargo terminals, warehouses, cranes, and container yards to handle different types of cargo. Seaports also provide services such as pilotage, towage, and bunkering to ships. The size and capacity of a seaport depend on its location, natural depth of water, and the type of cargo it handles. Some of the busiest seaports in the world include Shanghai, Singapore, and Rotterdam.
