PortSide Stories: Introduction

A fresh look at life around the world container ports. At first glance, a container port might seem like a purely industrial zone, busy, functional, and strictly professional. But just beyond the cranes, cargo, and control towers lies a different reality: streets full of culture, flavors, and everyday life. That’s where PortSide Storiescomes in.

This new column explores the world beyond the terminal gates. Each time, we focus on a different major port city, not from a technical or commercial angle, but from a human one.

What can you eat there? Where do people go for coffee, a drink, or a seaside walk after a long shift? What are the hidden gems near the harbor, and where can you stay if you’re laying over?

What are the most popular sightseeing and places of interest in the area?

Whether you’re a seafarer, a logistics professional passing through, or just a curious traveler, PortSide Stories aims to give you a sense of place, quickly and simply.

From Piraeus to Singapore, Rotterdam to Busan, we’ll explore what’s worth seeing, tasting, and doing in each port city. Because behind every container hub, there’s a community. And behind every community, a story worth telling.

Welcome to PortSide Stories and stay tuned for the first way round.
