Ports classed as major by harbor size. Harbor size reflects port facilities, not cargo volume, so some very busy container hubs are listed under other size classes.
A five-character code assigned by the United Nations to ports, airports and other trade locations. The first two letters are the ISO country code and the last three identify the place, for example NLRTM for Rotterdam.
Compare the ship's draft, length and beam with the port's channel and berth depths, berth length and any tidal restrictions. Carriers publish the ports each service calls at; see the shipping line directory.
A hub where containers are moved from one ship to another, for example from a large mainline vessel to a smaller feeder ship serving ports the large ship cannot reach.
The port of loading (POL) is where cargo goes on board the main vessel; the port of discharge (POD) is where it comes off. Both appear on the bill of lading and set the freight route.
