Title: Containers being moved by lorry.
Description: Many containers are moved to and from the ports by road. Cranes lower the containers directly on to lorries, which deliver them to their final destination. This removes the need to pack or unpack goods at the port, reducing costs and allowing ships to leave far more quickly.
