There are issues like type of vessel which can enter small ports as estuaries which needs frequent dredging unless it's a natural port. Also depth of wharf & the river. Generally the loading & unloading happens on one side need large cranes to handle with cantilever or on board crane. Small containers of 2 to 5 ton is a good option for quick disposal on small trucks. Mechanization with quick loading & unloading of vessel carrying about 500 to 1000 tons with small draft. Workable for cont'd----
