The word ‘port’ is derived from the latin word ‘porta’ which means door or gateway. Infact a port is essentially a gateway from land to sea or from sea to land. Port is a place on the coast which provides facilities such as for docking, loading and unloading and storage facilities for cargo. ‘
A port handles export and import trade of country.
It is well connected with its hinterland by land transport. These land routes are used to transport the goods to a port from where these goods are exported through oceanic routes. Similarly, imports are sent to hinterland of a port.
Infact, a port acts as a point of entery for goods received from foreign countries and a point of exit. Therefore, a port is called a gateway of international trade.
