General information
The design of port layout, including the port master planning, port basins and terminals will be discussed. The content of this part of the course is as follows:
- Maritime transport: various types of merchant ships; commodities and types of vessels.
- Port Master Planning: port functions and organization, port planning methodology, planning process.
- Design of Wet Areas: ship maneuvering and hydrodynamic behavior, approach channels, maneuvering areas within the port, port basins and berth areas.
- Design of Terminals: terminal services, terminal components, types of terminals, terminal capacity, terminal dimensions.
- Introduction to queuing theory as a tool on 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 the site selection, investigations at chosen site, the determination of design parameters and normal design sequence of berthing structures, typical lay-out and components of berthing structures. Also design criteria, structural considerations, construction methods and choice of construction equipment will be discussed.
In addition to the course work a field trip to the port of Rotterdam is included in this course.
Upon completion, the participant should be able to:
- Have an insight in the design and construction, the interaction between all influencing conditions and factors and the construction procedures of berthing structures (bulk & cargo terminals etc). Application in a design excercise.
- Design the layout of a port and understand how to review the activities in a port in relation to design. Know how to apply the planning process for the lay-out of a port and development of various types of terminals.

<p>Course fee: € 2850</p>
Prerequisites:
You should at least have a Bachelor Degree in a relevant field of study, some years of working experience and a good command of the English language. This course is useful for engineers 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.
Application Procedure:
Deadline IHE application: 16 December 2016 - 23.59 (CET)
Grant Opportunities:
Discounts on the tuition fee of online and short courses apply to the following:
- 30% for UNESCO-IHE alumni
- 10% for UN family staff members
- 10% for groups of 5 or more (provided that the course starts at the same time and a group application has been sent)
NFP, MSP and SIDS Fellowships
Most of our short courses are eligible for NFP, MSP and SIDS Fellowships. Candidates from eligible countries are always encouraged to apply for one.
You will need to have academic admission at UNESCO-IHE before you apply for an fellowship. Please be aware that the UNESCO-IHE application deadline and the fellowship application deadlines are different.
The UNESCO-IHE deadline is mentioned on each individual Short Course webpage, the fellowship deadlines are listed here:
You may register by filling out the online application form available at the webpage of the Short Course of your preference. Within 15 working days you will be notified about the outcome of your application. You will receive more details about how to apply for the fellowship when you are academically admitted. In case you would like to be nominated for a NFP/MSP fellowship, please note that you can apply for only one course per deadline.
For fellowships, other than NFP, MSP or SIDS, use Nuffic's grantfinder.
