Did you know that, according to anthropologist Marc Augé, there are so-called non-places? Did you know that, according to anthropologist Marc Augé, non-places exist? They are those spaces where you pass through but never stay: airports, train stations, shopping centers… and yes, ports too.

But is a port really a “non-place”?
Or could it be something more?
🌊 Let’s find out together 👇
🚢 1️⃣ Ports: Spaces of Passage… but Connected
A port is a crossroads. You arrive, you leave, you wait. Everything is movement — nothing seems to belong to us.
And yet, today, thanks to digital connections and smart services, a port can become a little personal world.
📱 On Seafy.com you can find:

- parking, shuttles, and transport links
- and the best way to stay connected while traveling
➡️ In short: the non-place becomes your place.
🌍 2️⃣ Three Things to Know About “Non-Places”
Identity: In ports, no one really lives there — everyone passes through, no one belongs. (With a few exceptions.) Time: You don’t “live” in a port. You wait. You depart. You arrive. Function: Everything is designed for movement, not for staying still.
But today, it takes very little to change your perspective. A Wi-Fi that keeps you online. An app that guides you. An experience that makes that moment yours.
