Focuses on the evaluation of seaport planning and development-- criteria, requirements and technology. Analyzes capacity needs in light of new technology and feasibility of future development, and examines the impact of new concepts on the ocean transport industry. Emphasizes the development of a methodology to forecast commodity flow shipping activity, and suggests practical model design for the analysis of different port uses and for optimizing port investment and operational decisions. Covers a range of other topics, including land/water interfaces, intermodal transportation, labor, port master planning, cost/benefit studies, physical developments of ports, and the increasing role of international, multi-national and governmental financing as they affect policy and future development.
