The invention provides a port terminal, such as a container terminal (1), distinguished in that the port terminal is a floating steel structure comprising an outer steel hull (2), a top cover (3) with rail structures (5) for an STS crane and/or road structure (6) for vehicles on or in the top cover, and mooring connected to anchors and/or land structure, preferably further comprising an STS (ship-to-land) crane (4), manned or remotely controlled, preferably an STS crane with controlled position and/or weight distribution adjusting when tightening or loosening the weight of a container slowly, to compensate for natural movements in roll and/or pitch of the steel hull of the port terminal of the invention, wherein the maximum or average draught of the outer steel hull is 0,25 or less than the height of the outer steel hull and wherein the steel hull as floating in operation preferably has a natural period of 2 seconds or longer.
