Economic development depends on port infrastructure, support of trade, and supply chain development

The port infrastructure serves as the foundation for port operations, allowing ships, goods, and passengers to move through. The development of port infrastructure, on the other hand, necessitates large capital inputs, a considerable lead time, and consequently long-term planning. Globalization has resulted in a greater emphasis on international economic operations, which has resulted in increased spending on transportation infrastructure such as airports, rivers, trains, and roadways. As a result, port infrastructure construction has increased over the world. Port operational equipment (dredgers, tugboats, cranes), port terminals (such as docking places, shore-side electricity, bunkering, and storage), and man-made worldwide marine routes are among the infrastructure features. Typically, port terminals provide specific facilities for various types of cargo.

The physical structures, processes, and staff resources required for a marine commercial operation, including marine ports and seaports, are referred to as Port infrastructure. Shipping is one of the world's largest industries, with nearly all items passing through ports at some point. As a result, port infrastructure must be extremely functional in order to accommodate all types of ships passing through on their way to or from a port efficiently. Furthermore, it is vital that these facilities remain safe and secure in order for vessels to dock safely and have simple access to the docks' interior. A sturdy, modern port infrastructure or port facility is thus a must for firms that need to handle freight.
