Maritime outer ports refer to major ports in a country or region that do not belong to the country or region, but are used as transit stations or transshipment points for handling international maritime cargo. These ports are usually located in coastal or estuary areas and have good water depth and port facilities to accommodate large cargo ships and handle large volumes of cargo.
