A port is defined as an area on both land and water, whether on the sea or river, that provides facilities for shipping vessels to load and unload their cargo. This area, contained within 'port limits', will have been established over years of increasing or declining trade patterns and therefore is defined as the 'human set limits'. There may be several harbours and/or terminals within the port limits. A harbour tends to be a physical area where water meets land and results in a sheltered bay, such as Botany Bay in New South Wales, Australia. A terminal is defined as a single man-made facility that may have several berths, that handles vessels and possibly more than one type of vessel or cargo.

August was a record-breaking month for Scottish tidal energy, after a power station managed to generate 700 megawatt-hours of electricity. Studies show that tidal power could supply nearly half of Scotland’s power needs. The MeyGen project, located off the northern Scottish coast near the Orkney Islands, generated enough electricity with two turbines last month to power 2,000 homes. Director of Project Delivery, David Taffe, revealed the station’s world record-breaking effort in a statement, adding that a third turbine was successfully installed halfway through August. Taffe insisted that “we expect to continue to break records throughout the rest of the year”. Installing a third turbine in waters where the Atlantic meets the North Sea means that the tidal station’s total capacity is expected to hit its full 6MW potential by the end of the third quarter... https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/tidal-power-world-record-broken-off-scottish-coast/

Cork’s relevance on the Irish map is largely due to its prominence as a seaside city with its growth coming through trade with Scandinavia and the rest of Europe in general. History of Cork Ireland’s second largest city owes its size to the trade that came through Scandinavian trade links in the beginning of the first millenium. The city still has a major seaport and this forms a large part of the city’s revenue. The city itself is actually built on the River Lee, and the centre is on an island created by various channels of water. The River Lee then flows into one of the world’s largest natural harbours where the port of Cork is situated.
