Port Kavkaz
A port is a maritime facility comprising one or more wharves or loading areas, where ships load and discharge cargo and passengers. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary, ports can also be found far inland, such as Hamburg, Manchester and Duluth; these access the sea via rivers or canals.

For this reason, ports are also often densely populated settlements that provide the labor for processing and handling goods and related services for the ports.
