    fish. It may be a recreational

    uneconomical.

    known as the "bulk" or "break bulk
    ports".
    Cargo Port
    • Those ports that handle
    containerized cargo are known as
    container ports. Most cargo ports
    handle all sorts of cargo, but some
    ports are very specific as to what
    cargo they handle.
    Cargo Port
    • Additionally, the individual cargo
    ports are divided into different
    operating terminals which handle the
    different cargoes, and are operated
