megaport
Massive container terminal
A megaport is a very large seaport handling massive volumes of cargo, typically measuring container traffic in millions of TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) annually.
The world's megaports—Shanghai, Singapore, Rotterdam—serve as critical nodes in global shipping networks.
The term also applies to major data centers or internet exchange points with exceptionally high bandwidth capacity.
