A Dry Port is an inland intermodal terminal directly connected by road or rail to a seaport and operating as a centre for the transshipment of sea cargo to inland destinations.
In addition to their role in cargo transshipment, dry ports may also include facilities for storage and consolidation of goods, maintenance for road or rail cargo carriers and customs clearance services. The location of these facilities at a dry port relieves competition for storage and customs space at the seaport itself
River Side Port
A river port is used for facilities that handle river traffic, such as barges and other shallow draft vessels. Some ports on a lake, river, or canal have access to a sea or ocean, and are sometimes called "inland ports".
Sea Ports
A seaport is a facility for receiving seavessels and transferring cargo to and from them. They are situated at the edge of an ocean or sea. Most ports have cargo-handling equipment such as cranes and forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships and horizontal transport, which may be provided by private companies or public entities
