Green Port Initiative

A Deep Water Port (or deep-sea / deep-water seaport) is a port that has sufficiently deep draft (i.e. depth of water) to allow very large vessels with high deadweight tonnage (DWT) to dock safely without needing to lighten their load. These ports often require deep navigation channels, large turning basins, strong breakwaters, and substantial infrastructure for loading/unloading, storage, multimodal connectivity (roads, rails), etc.
