Fundamentals of Port Engineering By: Koos Schoonees

Author: Koos Schoonees

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 all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way including dredging, aids to navigation, environmental issues, and dry bulk, general cargo, multi-purpose, Ro-Ro and, ferry terminals. Discussions targeted at a conceptual design level are augmented by examples and case studies. This book is aimed at graduate students in port engineering or more port design, port planning, terminal design, dredging, port maintenance, shipping and maritime trade, aids to navigation, and transport engineering.
