Environmental Analysis Relative to Portable Port Operations.
Abstract
A study of the oceanographic environment at eleven remote semi-tropical coastal areas and the effects of these environments on the deployment and operation of the Portable Port systems. Consideration is given to the requirements for and the effectiveness of a breakwater system on improving and extending the operation of the port facilities when deployed along an exposed coastline. Alternate methods of mooring the piership are discussed and recommendations are made for methods of improving cargo transfer equipment to permit port operation without the benefit of a breakwater.
