What Is The Accessibility And Size Of Harbours?

Accessibility and SIZE of HARBOURS

  • Accessibility depends on the location of the harbours.
  • The harbour entrance should be designed and located for quick easy negotiation by ships, overtaken by storms.
  • At the same time, it should be narrow enough not to expose the harbour to the EFFECTS of the stormy sea.
  • Maximum dimensions upto 180 have been adopted
  • The entrance is generally placed of the sea, with a passage to the interior of the harbour so arranged as to MINIMIZE the effect of rough seas.

Thus; the size is DETERMINED by:

    • Accommodation required.
    • Convenience for maneuvering and navigation.
    • Adaptability to natural features.
