After sunset, the terminal belongs to the night shift. Floodlights replace the sun, and the work goes on: a ship in, a ship out, thousands of boxes lifted and set down again.

The photographs here were taken from a rooftop over three nights, and are published as part of our series on the places that keep the economy moving.
