The shipping ports in Port Au Prince finally re-open. The world can once again begin to shipping containers of aid and construction supplies directly into Port Au Prince. Many organizations have been collecting donations and can now ship the full container loads to survivors via ocean freight. Until now, most of the humanitarian aid has been arriving through air freight.
