Introduction

The main goal of this short course is to familiarize the participants with designing the layout of a port as well as the port-related structures in the port area or offshore areas such as breakwaters and berthing facilities.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the coastal processes such as wind, waves, tides, and tidal currents

Learning objectives

Upon completion, the participant should be able to:

  • List different types of sea-going vessels and identify the main characteristics of the ships

  • Explain the international functions of a port and different aspects of port management

  • Implement various steps in port master-planning

  • Determine the main dimensions of different terminals in the port

  • Determine the alignment and dimensions of the approach channel and the main dimensions of the wet infrastructure of the port

  • Design the details of berthing facilities for different types of berths

  • Include uncertainty in port planning and management by adaptive planning

Target Audience

This course is useful for engineers, and infrastructure managers involved in the design and/or supervision of ports and coastal structures.

Having knowledge about the coastal processes such as wind, waves, tides and tidal currents is necessary.

Course Outlines

The design of the port layout, including the port master planning, port basins, and terminals will be discussed.

  • Introduction to queuing theory as a tool for port planning.

Also, an extensive overview of the design and construction of berthing structures (bulk cargo terminals…etc) will be given.

This part of the course will cover site selection, investigations at the chosen site, the determination of design parameters and normal design sequence of berthing structures, typical layout, and components of berthing structures. Also, design criteria, structural considerations, construction methods, and choice of construction equipment will be discussed.
