Take some time and browse news sources for good ideas. Journal of Commerce is an excellent tool for this. Possible examples:

Current Port Labor Development in (U.S. East Coast, West Coast, Far East, etc.) Port Privatization in (Country or region) Port Productivity in (Country or region) Competition between ports (East Coast, West Coast, Gulf Coast, Europe, etc.) Growth of Global Terminal Operators Development of port clusters in (Pearl River, Tokyo Bay, Malacca Straits, etc.) Port expansion projects (here, there, and anywhere)

The potential list is endless. IMPORTANT:

PROJECT SHOULD FOCUS ON PORTS, NOT SHIPS DO NOT recycle old projects. Focus on dynamic contemporary port topics and issues. Do not simply describe individual ports
