International trade has been ferried around the world via boat for centuries. If the business of shipping stopped tomorrow, half the world would starve, and the other half would freeze.

Mega Ports

We take a closer look at the science and evolution of modern ports, built to service vessels that are growing in scale each year. Sea ports and their cities are at the heart of the shipping industry. The gateway through which goods are moved between land and sea. As trends and technology have evolved over the course of the 20th century, so too do these cities. Rising and falling economies inexorably linked to the industry they are built around.
