1、Port,welcome everyone,What is a port?,港口是具有水陸聯運設備和條件，供船舶安全進出和停泊的運輸樞紐。是水陸交通的集結點和樞紐，工農業(yè)產品和外貿進出口物資的集散地，船舶停泊、裝卸貨物、上下旅客、補充給養(yǎng)的場所。由于港口是聯系內陸腹地和海洋運輸(國際航空運輸)的一個天然界面，因此，人們也把港口作為國際物流的一個特殊結點。 A port is a location on a coast or shore containing one or more harbors where ships can dock and transfer people or cargo

2、 to or from land. Port locations are selected to optimize(使完善) access to land and navigable water, for commercial demand, and for shelter（庇護所） from wind and waves. Ports with deeper water are rarer, but can handle larger, more economical ships. Since ports throughout history handled every kind of tr

3、affic, support and storage facilities vary widely, may extend for miles, and dominate the local economy. Some ports have an important military role.,The classification of port,（1）基本港(Base Port) 是運價表現定班輪公司的船一般要定期掛靠的港口。大多數為位于中心的較大口岸，港口設備條件比較好，貨載多而穩(wěn)定。規(guī)定為基本港口就不再限制貨量。運往基本港口的貨物一般均為直達運輸，無需中途轉船。但有時也因貨量太少，船方

4、決定中途轉運，由船方自行安排，承擔轉船費用。按基本港口運費率向貨方收取運費，不得加收轉船附加費或直航附加費。并應簽發(fā)直達提單。 （2）非基本港(Non-Base Port) 凡基本港口以外的港口都稱為非基本港口。非基本港口一般除按基本港口收費外，還需另外加收轉船附加費。達到一定貨量時則改為加收直航附加費。例如新幾內亞航線的侯尼阿臘港(HONIARA)，便是所羅門群島的基本港口；而基埃塔港(KIETA)，則是非基本港口。運往基埃塔港口的貨物運費率要在侯尼阿臘運費率的基礎上增加轉船附加費43.00美元(USD)/FT。,The classification of port,港口按用途(applic

5、ation)分，有商港、軍港、漁港、避風港等； 商港（commercial port） 軍港（naval port OR military harbour） 漁港（fishing port） 避風港（haven）,The classification of port,按所處位置(Location)分，有河口港、海港和河港等 河口港（estuary harbour） 位于河流入?？诨蚴艹毕绊懙暮涌诙蝺?，可兼為海船和河船服務。一般有大城市作依托，水陸交通便利，內河水道往往深入內地廣闊的經濟腹地，承擔大量的貨流量，故世界上許多大港都建在河口附近，如鹿特丹港、倫敦港、紐約港、列寧格勒港、上海港等。河

6、口港的特點是，碼頭設施沿河岸布置，離海不遠而又不需建防波堤，如岸線長度不夠，可增設挖入式港池。,Introduction,海港（harbour） 位于海岸、海灣或瀉湖內，也有離開海岸建在深水海面上的。位于開敞海面岸邊或天然掩護不足的海灣內的港口，通常須修建相當規(guī)模的防波堤，如大連港、青島港、連云港、基隆港、意大利的熱那亞港等。供巨型油輪或礦石船靠泊的單點或多點系泊碼頭和島式碼頭屬于無掩護的外海海港，如利比亞的卜拉加港、黎巴嫩的西頓港等。瀉湖被天然沙嘴完全或部分隔開，開挖運河或拓寬、浚深航道后，可在瀉湖岸邊建港，如廣西北海港。也有完全靠天然掩護的大型海港，如東京港、香港港、澳大利亞的悉尼港等。,

7、Introduction,河港（river port） 位于天然河流或人工運河上的港口，包括湖泊港和水庫港。湖泊港和水庫港水面寬闊，有時風浪較大，因此同海港有許多相似處，如往往需修建防波堤等。蘇聯古比雪夫、齊姆良斯克等大型水庫上的港口和中國洪澤湖上的小型港口均屬此類,The constitutes of a port,水域（water area） 水域:通常包括進港航道、錨泊地和港池。 進港航道(approach channel) 錨泊地（anchoring berth OR anchorage area） 港池（dock basin）,進港航道(approach channel) 進港航道要

8、保證船舶安全方便地進出港口，必須有足夠的深度和寬度、適當的位置、方向和彎道曲率半徑，避免強烈的橫風、橫流和嚴重淤積，盡量降低航道的開辟和維護費用。當港口位于深水岸段，低潮或低水位時天然水深已足夠船舶航行需要時，無須人工開挖航道，但要標志出船舶出入港口的最安全方便路線。如果不能滿足上述條件并要求船舶隨時都能進出港口，則須開挖人工航道。人工航道分單向航道和雙向航道。大型船舶的航道寬度為80300米，小型船舶的為5060米。,錨泊地（anchoring berth OR anchorage area） 錨泊地指有天然掩護或人工掩護條件能抵御強風浪的水域，船舶可在此錨泊、等待靠泊碼頭或離開港口。如果港

9、口缺乏深水碼頭泊位，也可在此進行船轉船的水上裝卸作業(yè)。內河駁船船隊還可在此進行編、解隊和換拖(輪)作業(yè)。,港池（dock basin） 港池指直接和港口陸域毗連，供船舶靠離碼頭、臨時停舶和調頭的水域。港池按構造形式分，有開敞式港池、封閉式港池和挖入式港池。港池尺度應根據船舶尺度、船舶靠離碼頭方式、水流和風向的影響及調頭水域布置等確定。開敞式港池內不設閘門或船閘，水面隨水位變化而升降。封閉式港池池內設有閘門或船閘，用以控制水位，適用于潮差較大的地區(qū)。挖入式港池在岸地上開挖而成，多用于岸線長度不足，地形條件適宜的地方。,陸域（land area） 指港口供貨物裝卸、堆存、轉運和旅客集散之用的陸地面

10、積。陸域上有進港陸上通道（鐵路、道路、運輸管道等）、碼頭前方裝卸作業(yè)區(qū)和港口后方區(qū)。前方裝卸作業(yè)區(qū)供分配貨物，布置碼頭前沿鐵路、道路、裝卸機械設備和快速周轉貨物的倉庫或堆場(前方庫場)及候船大廳等之用。港口后方區(qū)供布置港內鐵路、道路、較長時間堆存貨物的倉庫或堆場（后方庫場）、港口附屬設施（車庫、停車場、機具修理車間、工具房、變電站、消防站等）以及行政、服務房屋等。為減少港口陸域面積，港內可不設后方庫場。,The equipment of a port,陸上設備包括間歇作業(yè)的裝卸機械設備（門座式、輪胎式、汽車式、橋式及集裝箱起重機、卸車機等）、連續(xù)作業(yè)的裝卸機械設備（帶式輸送機、斗式提升機、壓縮

11、空氣和水力輸送式裝置及泵站等）、供電照明設備、通訊設備、給水排水設備、防火設備等。港內陸上運輸機械設備包括火車、載重汽車、自行式搬運車及管道輸送設備等。水上裝卸運輸機械設備包括起重船、拖輪、駁船及其他港口作業(yè)船、水下輸送管道等。,Technical feature,主要有港口水深、碼頭泊位數、碼頭線長度、港口陸域高程等 港口水深(harbour depth) 碼頭泊位數(Number of berth) 碼頭線長度(Terminal line length) 港口陸域高程(land area elevation),Addition,水工建筑物（hydraulic structure） 一般包括

12、防波堤、碼頭、修船和造船水工建筑物。進出港船舶的導航設施（航標、燈塔等）和港區(qū)護岸也屬于港口水工建筑物的范圍。 防波堤（breakwater） 碼頭（wharf） 修船和造船水工建筑物（hydraulic structure of Ship repairing and shipbuilding ） 航標（navigation mark） 燈塔（Lighthouse OR beacon） 港區(qū)護岸（Port revetment）,碼頭（wharf）,供船舶?？?、裝卸貨物和上下旅客的水工建筑物。廣泛采用的是直立式碼頭，便于船舶停靠和機械直接開到碼頭前沿，以提高裝卸效率。內河水位差大的地區(qū)也可采用斜

13、坡式碼頭，斜坡道前方設有躉船作碼頭使用；這種碼頭由于裝卸環(huán)節(jié)多，機械難于靠近碼頭前沿，裝卸效率低。在水位差較小的河流、湖泊中和受天然或人工掩護的海港港池內也可采用浮碼頭，借助活動引橋把躉船與岸連接起來，這種碼頭一般用做客運碼頭、卸魚碼頭、輪渡碼頭以及其他輔助碼頭。,碼頭結構形式有重力式、高樁式和板樁式。主要根據使用要求、自然條件和施工條件綜合考慮確定。 重力式碼頭。靠建筑物自重和結構范圍的填料重量保持穩(wěn)定，結構整體性好，堅固耐用，損壞后易于修復，有整體砌筑式和預制裝配式，適用于較好的地基。 高樁碼頭。由基樁和上部結構組成，樁的下部打入土中，上部高出水面，上部結構有梁板式、無梁大板式、框架式和承

14、臺式等。高樁碼頭屬透空式結構，波浪和水流可在碼頭平面以下通過，對波浪不發(fā)生反射，不影響泄洪，并可減少淤積，適用于軟土地基。近年來廣泛采用長樁、大跨結構，并逐步用大型預應力混凝土管柱或鋼管柱代替斷面較小的樁，而成為管柱碼頭。 板樁碼頭。由板樁墻和錨碇設施組成，并借助板樁和錨碇設施承受地面使用荷載和墻后填土產生的側壓力。板樁碼頭結構簡單，施工速度快，除特別堅硬或過于軟弱的地基外，均可采用，但結構整體性和耐久性較差。,鹿特丹港（rotterdam port）,Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands and one of the

15、largest ports in the world. Starting as a dam（大壩） constructed in 1270 on the Rotte River, Rotterdam has grown into a major international commercial centre（商業(yè)中心）.

A common misconception（常識錯誤） is that the double tide is caused by one tide（

25、潮汐）coming up each side of the Isle of Wight. However, the effect is actually caused as a result of tidal flow through the English Channel. High tide at one end of the Channel (Dover) occurs at the same time as low tide at the other end (Lands End). Points near the centre have one high water as the t
