Question

Choose the correctly matched pair of sea ports and their examples.

• A. Out Ports – Duisburg
• B. Ports of Call – Piraeus
• C. Oil Ports – Tripoli
• D. Naval Ports – Kolkata

Hint:

When studying ports, remember that oil ports are specifically designed for oil shipping, while naval ports serve military functions and ports of call are for refueling or docking during voyages.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Outports are inland transportation terminals not directly connected to sea routes (e.g., Duisburg, an incorrect example).
- Ports of call (e.g., Piraeus) are stopping points for ships, not necessarily oil shipping or naval hubs.
- Oil ports, like Tripoli (Libya), are specifically for oil export, making it the correct match for "Oil Ports." - Naval ports (e.g., Kolkata) are military installations with strategic importance, unrelated to oil exports.
Therefore, (C) is correct, with Tripoli exemplifying an Oil Port.
