1、Port,welcome everyone,What is a port?,港口是具有水陸聯(lián)運(yùn)設(shè)備和條件，供船舶安全進(jìn)出和停泊的運(yùn)輸樞紐。是水陸交通的集結(jié)點(diǎn)和樞紐，工農(nóng)業(yè)產(chǎn)品和外貿(mào)進(jìn)出口物資的集散地，船舶停泊、裝卸貨物、上下旅客、補(bǔ)充給養(yǎng)的場所。由于港口是聯(lián)系內(nèi)陸腹地和海洋運(yùn)輸(國際航空運(yùn)輸)的一個(gè)天然界面，因此，人們也把港口作為國際物流的一個(gè)特殊結(jié)點(diǎn)。 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(hù)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(yùn)價(jià)表現(xiàn)定班輪公司的船一般要定期掛靠的港口。大多數(shù)為位于中心的較大口岸，港口設(shè)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(yùn)往基本港口的貨物一般均為直達(dá)運(yùn)輸，無需中途轉(zhuǎn)船。但有時(shí)也因貨量太少，船方

4、決定中途轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)，由船方自行安排，承擔(dān)轉(zhuǎn)船費(fèi)用。按基本港口運(yùn)費(fèi)率向貨方收取運(yùn)費(fèi)，不得加收轉(zhuǎn)船附加費(fèi)或直航附加費(fèi)。并應(yīng)簽發(fā)直達(dá)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(fèi)外，還需另外加收轉(zhuǎn)船附加費(fèi)。達(dá)到一定貨量時(shí)則改為加收直航附加費(fèi)。例如新幾內(nèi)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(yùn)往基埃塔港口的貨物運(yùn)費(fèi)率要在侯尼阿臘運(yùn)費(fèi)率的基礎(chǔ)上增加轉(zhuǎn)船附加費(fèi)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(fēng)港等； 商港（commercial port） 軍港（naval port OR military harbour） 漁港（fishing port） 避風(fēng)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?nèi)，可兼為海船和河船服務(wù)。一般有大城市作依托，水陸交通便利，內(nèi)河水道往往深入內(nèi)地廣闊的經(jīng)濟(jì)腹地，承擔(dān)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(diǎn)是，碼頭設(shè)施沿河岸布置，離海不遠(yuǎn)而又不需建防波堤，如岸線長度不夠，可增設(shè)挖入式港池。,Introduction,海港（harbour） 位于海岸、海灣或?yàn)a湖內(nèi)，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(hù)不足的海灣內(nèi)的港口，通常須修建相當(dāng)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(diǎn)或多點(diǎn)系泊碼頭和島式碼頭屬于無掩護(hù)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(yùn)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(hù)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(yùn)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(shí)風(fēng)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(lián)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(jìn)港航道、錨泊地和港池。 進(jìn)港航道(approach channel) 錨泊地（anchoring berth OR anchorage area） 港池（dock basin）,進(jìn)港航道(approach channel) 進(jìn)港航道要

8、保證船舶安全方便地進(jìn)出港口，必須有足夠的深度和寬度、適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢?、方向和彎道曲率半徑，避免?qiáng)烈的橫風(fēng)、橫流和嚴(yán)重淤積，盡量降低航道的開辟和維護(hù)費(fèi)用。當(dāng)港口位于深水岸段，低潮或低水位時(shí)天然水深已足夠船舶航行需要時(shí)，無須人工開挖航道，但要標(biāo)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(shí)都能進(jìn)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(hù)或人工掩護(hù)條件能抵御強(qiáng)風(fēng)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(jìn)行船轉(zhuǎn)船的水上裝卸作業(yè)。內(nèi)河駁船船隊(duì)還可在此進(jìn)行編、解隊(duì)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(shí)停舶和調(diào)頭的水域。港池按構(gòu)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(yīng)根據(jù)船舶尺度、船舶靠離碼頭方式、水流和風(fēng)向的影響及調(diào)頭水域布置等確定。開敞式港池內(nèi)不設(shè)閘門或船閘，水面隨水位變化而升降。封閉式港池池內(nèi)設(shè)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(zhuǎn)運(yùn)和旅客集散之用的陸地面

10、積。陸域上有進(jìn)港陸上通道（鐵路、道路、運(yùn)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(jī)械設(shè)備和快速周轉(zhuǎn)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(nèi)鐵路、道路、較長時(shí)間堆存貨物的倉庫或堆場（后方庫場）、港口附屬設(shè)施（車庫、停車場、機(jī)具修理車間、工具房、變電站、消防站等）以及行政、服務(wù)房屋等。為減少港口陸域面積，港內(nèi)可不設(shè)后方庫場。,The equipment of a port,陸上設(shè)備包括間歇作業(yè)的裝卸機(jī)械設(shè)備（門座式、輪胎式、汽車式、橋式及集裝箱起重機(jī)、卸車機(jī)等）、連續(xù)作業(yè)的裝卸機(jī)械設(shè)備（帶式輸送機(jī)、斗式提升機(jī)、壓縮

11、空氣和水力輸送式裝置及泵站等）、供電照明設(shè)備、通訊設(shè)備、給水排水設(shè)備、防火設(shè)備等。港內(nèi)陸上運(yùn)輸機(jī)械設(shè)備包括火車、載重汽車、自行式搬運(yùn)車及管道輸送設(shè)備等。水上裝卸運(yùn)輸機(jī)械設(shè)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(shù)、碼頭線長度、港口陸域高程等 港口水深(harbour depth) 碼頭泊位數(shù)(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(jìn)出港船舶的導(dǎo)航設(shè)施（航標(biāo)、燈塔等）和港區(qū)護(hù)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(biāo)（navigation mark） 燈塔（Lighthouse OR beacon） 港區(qū)護(hù)岸（Port revetment）,碼頭（wharf）,供船舶?？俊⒀b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?？亢蜋C(jī)械直接開到碼頭前沿，以提高裝卸效率。內(nèi)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(shè)有躉船作碼頭使用；這種碼頭由于裝卸環(huán)節(jié)多，機(jī)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(hù)的海港港池內(nèi)也可采用浮碼頭，借助活動(dòng)引橋把躉船與岸連接起來，這種碼頭一般用做客運(yùn)碼頭、卸魚碼頭、輪渡碼頭以及其他輔助碼頭。,碼頭結(jié)構(gòu)形式有重力式、高樁式和板樁式。主要根據(jù)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(jié)構(gòu)范圍的填料重量保持穩(wěn)定，結(jié)構(gòu)整體性好，堅(jiān)固耐用，損壞后易于修復(fù)，有整體砌筑式和預(yù)制裝配式，適用于較好的地基。 高樁碼頭。由基樁和上部結(jié)構(gòu)組成，樁的下部打入土中，上部高出水面，上部結(jié)構(gòu)有梁板式、無梁大板式、框架式和承

14、臺(tái)式等。高樁碼頭屬透空式結(jié)構(gòu)，波浪和水流可在碼頭平面以下通過，對(duì)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(jié)構(gòu)，并逐步用大型預(yù)應(yīng)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(shè)施組成，并借助板樁和錨碇設(shè)施承受地面使用荷載和墻后填土產(chǎn)生的側(cè)壓力。板樁碼頭結(jié)構(gòu)簡單，施工速度快，除特別堅(jiān)硬或過于軟弱的地基外，均可采用，但結(jié)構(gòu)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
