A large harbor or shipping facility specifically designed and equipped to handle the loading, unloading, and storage of shipping containers.
Compound of 'container' (Latin 'continere') and 'port' (Latin 'portus,' harbor). A modern term emerging from the container revolution of the mid-20th century.
Singapore and Rotterdam are famous containerports handling millions of containers yearly—these massive facilities are basically mechanical cities where robots and cranes work 24/7!
