The importance of ports

Ports play a vital role in international trade and economic development. As a shipping hub carrying 90% of the world's trade, the port is an important infrastructure to promote international trade and economic development.

First of all, the port is a transportation hub for ships to enter and exit safely, a gathering place and hub for land and water transportation, a distribution center for industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade import and export materials, and a place where ships dock, load and unload goods, get on and off passengers and replenish materials. Because the port is the natural interface between inland hinterland and ocean transportation (international air transportation), people also regard the port as a special node of international logistics.

Secondly, the port is an important link in transportation, connecting the whole world. At present, maritime transport is one of the most important modes of transport in international commodity exchange, accounting for more than 80% of all international cargo transport.
