    Unit 2 Welcome to a Modern Port 


    Read & Listen

    Exercise 1

    Today a major  port is a world of its own. Modern port facilities have to meet the demands of
    highly specialised transport systems by sea, land and air. And so within the boundaries of any large
    sea port we find an amazing range of services.

    A modern port maintains shipping channels, harbour basins, and navigation aids as well as the port
    infrastructure  such as wharves, quays, docks, storage areas and warehouses, cranes  for cargo
    handling and terminals  for cargoes and passengers. It provides pilots and pilot vessels, tugs for
    towage and emergency response vessels in cases of accidents at sea.
