Port
A port is a facility for receiving
ships and transferring cargo. They are usually situated at the edge of an
ocean,
sea,
river, or
lake. Ports often have cargo-handling equipment such as
cranes (operated by
longshoremen) and
forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships, which may be provided by private interests or public bodies. Often,
canneries or other processing facilities will be located very close by.
Harbour pilots , barges and
tugboats are often used to safely maneuver large ships in tight quarters as they approach and leave the
docks. Ports which handle international traffic will have
customs facilities.
