Description
Port engineering primarily deals with the design, construction, operation, management, and maintenance of ports, overlapping with many other disciplines.
This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers.
It covers almost all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way, including dredging, marine aids to navigation, environmental issues, containers, liquid bulk, dry bulk, general cargo, multipurpose, roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro), fishing, and ferry terminals.
Discussions are targeted at a conceptual design level. Other features:Aspects of port engineering are discussed, including shipping, maritime trade, environmental aspects (such as climate change), resilience of ports, nature-based solutions, and port management (such as security, equipment, slurry pumping, and so forth)Illustrates the design of port terminalsDiscusses site selection for a new port, the factors to be considered, and ways to compare different potential port sitesExplores asset management and repair of marine structuresIncludes case studies from around the world, examples, and practical and user-friendly guidelines
