INTRODUCTION

There are thousands of seaports in the world and it has been one of the means
of transportation across countries. A port is a structure located near the coast or
shore containing one or more harbors where ships can dock and transfer people or
cargo to or from land. Port locations are selected to optimize access to land
and navigable waters, for commercial demand, and for shelter from wind and
waves. Ports with deeper water are rarer but can handle larger, more economical
ships. Since ports throughout history handled every kind of traffic, support and
storage facilities vary widely, may extend for miles, and dominate the local
economy. A seaport also has one of the biggest impacts in terms of economic
growth to a country.
