The provision of adequate berths for ships to load and off-load is the function of the Ports Authority. Ports are designated areas on the coast or on a river that provides necessary facilities for ships to dock, load and unload goods and passengers. The Ports Authority is responsible for the management and operation of ports, ensuring that there are enough berths available for ships to dock and carry out their activities.

Therefore, the Ports Authority is responsible for ensuring that there are enough berths to accommodate the ships using the port.
