This
book is an outcome of extensive experience in design office and of construction.
Both the authors have been actively associated with academics.
The book deals with all the normal port aspects in a holistic way. Topics, such as “Ship Features”, “Traffic Forecasting and Hinterland”, “Cargo Handling Equipment”, “Construction Materials” etc. are essential back-ground knowledge
for any dock and harbour engineering. These too have been covered.
For
easy reading, the book is divided into self-contained chapters dealing with each topic. It contains useful tables of data and is profusely
illustrated with diagrams and photographs to assist the reader. Fundamental
concepts are lucidly presented and derived and empirical formulae given with
clarity of underlying assumptions.
In this revised and updated edition,
modifications and additions have been made in some of the chapters and Following three new chapters have been added:
* Traffic Forecasting and Hinterland
* Berths
for Crude Oil and Petroleum Products
* RO-RO
Ferry Terminals
Other
cogent information has been included in the form of new Appendices. Some of these are:
"Ships for LPG-LNG and other Bulk Liquids", "Properties of Liquids and Liquefied
Gases", "Details
of Selected Ships", "Coastal Regulation
Zone" and "Port Charges".
The book comprehensively covers the
subject for degree courses in engineering of all the Indian Universities and associate membership examinations of professional bodies. Written in a simple
language, with illustrative references, it will be useful to students to grasp
the subject and practising engineers in designing.
