Port management

Port management involves the management of ports.

Larger ports

According to a syllabus of the United Nations University:

Large ports need to deal with a number of disparate activities: the movement of ships, containers, and other cargo, the loading and unloading of ships and containers, customs activities. As well as human resources, anchorages, channels, lighters, tugs, berths, warehouse, and other storage spaces have to be allocated and released. The efficient management of a port involves managing these activities and resources, managing the flows of money involved between the agents providing and using these resources, and providing management information.[1]

Smaller ports
gollark: Personally, I prefer the general thing of "having types" to "basically being strings".
gollark: Your complaints mostly seem to be that the rules for quoting or not quoting are not obvious to non-programmers, but I figure that service files are mostly written by people with some technical skill.
gollark: > tomlyes.
gollark: Although it would be nice if it could forward logs of stdout/err off to something.
gollark: You probably could have the basic "service manager" stuff done by a simple program which just reads TOML files from a directory, builds dependency graphs, and starts things, and that would be okay too.
