Which is the world's busiest port?
Rotterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands, is the busiest port in the world. Over 30,000 ships visit it each year, and in that time the port handles 295 million tons of goods. It was founded in the 13th century as a fishing village on the Rotte River, where it flows into the Rhine delta.
