Port Handling

Port handling encompasses the activities and processes involved in the movement, loading, unloading, and management of cargo and vessels within a port or terminal. This multifaceted operation is essential for the efficient flow of goods through maritime transportation, ensuring that cargo is handled safely, swiftly, and in compliance with regulations. 

Ports often act as temporary storage facilities for cargo. Efficient stacking and storage methods are critical to optimizing space and accessibility, ensuring that cargo can be easily retrieved when needed. Port handling also involves customs procedures. Cargoes must pass through customs inspections, and documentation must be processed to comply with import and export regulations. This step ensures compliance with local laws and international trade agreements.
