Harbors and ports are the critical gateways for global commerce, handling the vast majority of international trade by volume. Their efficiency is a direct measure of a nation’s economic vitality. To remain competitive, these waterways must be expertly maintained and frequently improved to accommodate the ever-increasing drafts of modern cargo ships. This requires a constant, precise effort to keep shipping channels deep, wide, and safe for navigation.
