 Seaports history, etymology

• The word port derives from the ancient Greek poros

(πόρος), which means both “passage” and “journey,”
which in turn became the Latin word portus, and the
modern international port
• The world’s most ancient port known as of today was
recently discovered in the Egyptian coast of the Red Sea
coast, 112 miles south of Suez, and dates back to 2500
BC at the time of Pharaoh Khufu (Davis 2013). The
harbor’s findings, carved anchors and manmade docks,
verify a vivid port that served the country’s exports of
copper and other minerals.

 Seaports history, etymology

The navigation is documented in Europe in the Mediterranean since

JAFFA PORT
3000 BC in the East (Egypt) and during 2000 BC in the Aegean
(Greece). In Italy the Etruscans sailed 1000 BC
The Romans built their empire sailing to and from the Port of Ostia.
Several Ports in Hispania was connected in 50 AD with current
Southampton, Cherbourg, La Coruna, Lisbon and Rome Marseille
• The Vikings came to Canada in 1000 AD
• The Chinese arrived in California in 1421 BYBLOS PORT
• The Portuguese arrived in Puerto Rico in 1434
• The Spanish arrived in the Caribbean in 1492
• Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521

 Port, Terminal and Port Zone

• From a practical point of view the operations that have

recently been developed in the port have contributed to
the frequent use of new concepts about the Port , and
others like as the Terminal and the Port area.
Port of Singapore
• The concept of the Port area is vital for the smooth
operation of cargo handling operations. It is to divide the
port on parallel zones to the dock areas. At first is the
dock where the cranes and the cargo that can not be
stacked are placed. Also the second and third services
zones.

 Civil Engineering Features of
Ports

1. Sea and Land access

2. Infrastructure for ship berthing
3. Network System for Road and Rail
4. Industrial Area Management, energy base

13
 The Main Functions of Ports

• Administrative Functions
1. Control of vehicles, all modes, entering and leaving the
port.
2. Environmental control.
3. Control of dangerous cargo.
4. Safety and security within the port area.
5. Immigration, health, customs and commercial
documentary control.

 The Main Functions of Ports

• Operational Functions
1. Pilotage, tugging and mooring activities.
2. Use of berths, sheds, etc.
3. Loading, discharging, storage and distribution of cargo.

 Features of Ports

• SPATIAL
ORGANIZATION
A Port is spatially
organized based on
specialized Terminals,
which handle traffic
passing through the port
in either direction

19
 Current Challenges

• Smart Ports- advance information technology, maritime technology,

environmental protection, energy
• Relationship of Port and the Town/City and the Government
• Management and Operation - Flow of Imports/exports and scanning
• Long Term Strategic Model and Sustainability

20
 Dry Docks

• Dry dock is a structured area wherein

construction, repairs and maintenance
of merchant vessels and boats are
carried out. This unique construction or
arrangement allows the water to be filled
up in an area, also known as a lock so
that vessels can be manoeuvred in and
out of the area.
• Once the vessel enters the dry dock, the
gates are closed and the seawater is
drained out so that the hull and other
parts of the ship, which have been
exposed to seawater for a long time are
exposed for carrying out maintenance
and repair works.

MASS TRANSIT

 mass transit, also called mass
transportation, or public
transportation, the movement
of people within urban areas
using group travel technologies
such as buses and trains.

A rapid transit system is any bus-

guided or not, monorail or train
capable of 5,000 to 40,000
passengers per hour depending on
their operative characteristic with
an average commercial speed of 20
to 40 km/hr

 mass transit, also called mass

such as buses and trains.

monorail, railway that runs on a single

rail. This rail may be located either above
or beneath the railway cars. In systems
that employ an overhead rail, the cars are
supported by wheeled axles that run on
the overhead rail. The system is
gyroscopically stabilized. In those
systems that use an undercarriage rail,
the cars are stabilized by guide wheels or
gyroscopically.

24
 A tram (in North
America streetcar or trolley) is a train
that runs on tramway track on public
urban streets; some include segments of
segregated right-of-way.[1][2] The lines or
networks operated by tramcars as public
transport are called tramways or simply
tram/streetcar. Many recently built
tramways use the contemporary term light
rail. 

Bus Rapid Transit typically involved busways

corridors or segregated lanes –either at grade or
grade separated and modernized bus technology
• Rapid boarding and alighting
• Efficient fare collection
• Comfortable shelter stations
• Clean bus technologies
• Modal Integration
• Sophisticated Marketing Strategy
• Excellence in Customer Service
25
 Infrastructure System:
•Track/ Lane
•Electrification
•Stations and Terminals
•Signals and
Communication

Importance of MRT Systems

1.Political Commitment to give
efficient mode of transport
2.Little impact on land use patterns
3.Energy efficient

26
 Underground mass transit offers city travelers
efficient commutes and inter-modal transfer.
Predictable transit times in a congested
footprint. Cities with subways want more
subway.

• Connecting Communities
• Mobilizing the People
• Planning and Revitalizing
the City
• Protecting the environment
27
CHOICES of MRT

29
The
Community’s
Choice
For Users:
More efficient, comfortable commutes.

For Residents:
Space returned to civic use.

30
The Operator’s
Choice
Well-controlled operating
environment.

Reliable, cost-competitive
solutions to many contemporary
urban infrastructure problems.

31
The Builder’s
Choice
Methods are robust and
outcomes predictable.

More contractors compete for

more work.
