There’s a new service for both locating airports or seaports worldwide. It is a subscription service, however ($17.95 a month). It’s located at http://www.findaport.net .

The site encompasses 1200 airports and 1000 “major” seaports. You can do a search by specifying a country or a city. Then you get a list of available ports, maps, and Web sites. Unfortunately, you can do no searching at all — not even to get teaser information — without logging in. You can’t even pay $5 for a sample search. I was initially interested in this site because I’ve been dealing a lot with freight considerations at work. But I’m not getting enough of a taste of the site to make a decision on the subscription service.
