This was untouched for more than half a year. So: At first one might think: What is the question?

Regarding experiences it might be interesting to compare cities like Rotterdam (Netherlands, extension towards the sea with Maasvlakte 1 and 2) and Shanghai (certainly not in Europe) towards deep see water access with Yangshan port. But then we might even consider ports which have difficulties to go "to the sea" like Hamburg (Germany), where old warehouses had been rejuvenated into fancy new living homes and alike.

thanks, these are the experiences that i need to compare. Anything written on the topic?
