Two thousand years ago, the port of Alexandria with its famous lighthouse was the most important trading center of the ancient world. Up to 500 ships could anchor there at the same time. Its location, its architecture and its capabilities as a transshipment point were unique. But how does it compare with a modern port? Rotterdam has the largest port in Europe. It’s twice the size of Manhattan. Two superlative ports, an ancient and a modern classic, compete in a duel.
