Ports are what initiate the social and economic growth of a region, not only enabling trade but also serving as a center for social activities. Nowadays, most ports (especially seaports) are well equipped with specialized machinery such as forklifts and gantry cranes to facilitate regular cargo transactions. Ports are also a major source of employment as a large number of workers are employed there.

In any economic system, the transportation of goods is critical to the functioning of commerce and industry. In the world of international trade and transportation of goods, the risks associated with the transportation of goods are inevitable. Although technological logistics systems are developing at an extraordinary pace thus ensuring the efficiency and safety of transportation, factors such as natural disasters, technical problems, theft and damage can lead to serious losses for both carriers and cargo owners.
