Conducting business today has become globally driven. China is the United States has without a doubt the largest trading partnership between two countries. How do all these goods enter a country? Via large container ships! In order for these products to actually make it to their customers, it must be delivered via the ocean and then onto land. This happens through ports. With ports, one must take their factors in consideration:
Depth of Water - 40 ft (13.5 meters)
Bridges - Entrance to major cities
Port Operations - Technologically advanced
Port Capacity - Size to facilitate goods
Warehousing - Protection of goods
Ship Berths - determine the unloading/loading of goods
Cranes - For container use
These are a few factors that must be taken in account when doing international business. Ports must have the self-discipline to strive for continues improvement. At the moment, the most efficient ports are located in China and Korea, whereas Los Angeles is only 16th on the world rankings when it comes to efficiency. Improvement must be a daily occurrence, as this will increase business for countries.
Sincerely,
Zinny
