Why a crane and a berth are the scarce objects
A ship cannot work cargo without a berth to lie against and cranes that can reach the boxes.
When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
The berth is the length of quay where a ship can lie safely alongside, and the ship-to-shore crane is the machine that moves boxes between that ship and the yard. Deep water without a free berth, or a berth without a crane that fits the ship, does not unload the cargo. The opening covers the berth is limited quay length, cranes must match the ship, and yard space does not berth a hull.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
