Ports serve as important transportation hubs that facilitate goods movement. Ports are essentially a channel of integration into the global economic system. Resourceful and well-connected container ports empowered by regular and consistent shipping services are key to reducing trade costs, including transport costs, connecting supply chains and supporting global trade. In terms of load carried, seaway transportation is the cheapest and most effective transportation system compared to other systems. Ports are also important for the support of economic activities in the hinterland since they act as a crucial connection between sea and land transport.
