Description
The management, operation, design and building of maritime works and ports is a field which is continuing to experience rapid change. This volume seeks to provide managers, operators, designers and the scientific and academic communities with state-of-the-art information on developments and changes. Featuring papers presented at the Second International Conference on Maritime Engineering and Ports, it includes discussion of a wide range of topics including construction, freight handling, multimode transportation, emerging technologies, ergonomics, multiuse of ports, and environmental , information technology, financial and legal aspects.
