Why seaports like this matter
Container terminals concentrate enormous cargo volume into a small footprint, which makes seaports a primary route for narcotics, counterfeit goods, wildlife products and trade-based money laundering. Customs authorities screen only a fraction of containers, so enforcement leans on risk targeting, non-intrusive inspection and intelligence sharing.
