What is the stevedoring company?
A stevedoring company is in charge to carry out the cargo handling in the port operations. Usually, it is the holder of an administrative concession, granted by the pertinent Port Authority, which empowers it to use, with exclusive condition, a space placed at the edge of the quay, to perform its activities. Since it is the operator of a certain terminal, sometimes it is used the expression “port terminal” to refer to it.
