Il existe divers exemples de ports de collecte qui ont du succès dans le monde. Par exemple, le port de Kotka, en Finlande, est l'extrémité de nombreux trajets de collecte. Chaque semaine, le port reçoit 19 navires de collecte et 13 rouliers, ce qui le relie à des ports pivots et à des marchés aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique, en Allemagne, en Russie, au Royaume-Uni et en Espagne.
