Shipping containers in the Port of Miami.

Towering gantry cranes line the waterfront at a Japanese container terminal, their red and white frames contrasting sharply against the overcast sky. The cranes, marked with “Evergreen” and “K” Line logos, are used to load and unload massive cargo ships that connect Japan to global trade routes. Surrounded by greenery and infrastructure, the scene reflects the blend of industry and environment common to Japan’s modern port cities—where precision logistics and advanced automation keep goods moving efficiently through one of the world’s busiest maritime networks.
