This 2nd edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals.Following from the success of the first edition, written by a collection of eminent figures in the field, this new edition continues to look at the rational planning for port facilities requirements (berths, storage and cargo handling equipment), organizations, management and operations with relation to planning and design of ports and marine terminals. Taking into account the rapid decrease in throughput due to containerization and the subsequent conversion of cargo berths for other uses, such as multi-purpose and container terminals, this book looks at data regarding natural conditions for site selection, choice of location and orientation of major port components – such as access channels, basins quays and specialized berths. This new edition also looks in detail at breakwater design and the use of model tests, channel design and proposed methods for determining sedimentation rates in channels, and ways to optimize channel depth. This book will be an invaluable resource for practicing engineers and planners, port administrators and operators, as well as graduate engineers specializing in the field. Contents include: A hybrid approach – including a simulation program on determining container terminal facilities; A detailed analysis of the important shipping categories of world fleets, which have been specifically acquired from Lloyds Register; High-speed ferry terminals; Dredging and disposal of contaminated sediment; Marpol; and Environmental consideration.
