Большой порт против маленькой гавани

Simple comparison for quick definition know-how: Big port vs smaller harbour

One quick knowledge: Big port vs smaller harbour. If you are a shipper or a sea forwarder, I don’t think you need to read several long articles to know their differences.

Ports are big for commercial shipping hubs. They are mainly for large vessels like container ships and tankers. Hence, they are generally located near major trade routes and industrial centers.

Compared to a port, a harbour is generally very much smaller and is mainly designed for fishing and recreational activities. Therefore, in most cases, a harbour can only accommodate smaller vessels like fishing boats.
