•   Conclusion
Introduction

• Marine Civil Engineering is a specialised
  construction technology branch, it covers Civil
  construction, repair and maintenance projects
  of structures like Jetties, Berths, Dry Dock,
  Wharves, Slipways, Marinas, Shiplift, Marine
  railways, Shipways, Navigational Aids, Sea Link
  Bridges, offshore yard, shore protection works
  and other specialist foundation works in or
  near sea.
Types of Marine facilities

•   Port and Harbor – Bulk goods / Gaseous goods
•   Port and Harbor – Container goods
•   Port and Harbor – Combined
•   Shipyard
•   Ship Dismantling yard
•   Sea Link Bridges
•   Floating Structures
•   Fishing ports
•   Special Structures
Port and harbor

• A Port is town or city with a harbor where
  ships can dock and transfer people or cargo to
  or from land.
• Port locations are selected
  – To optimize access to land and navigable water for
    commercial demand
  – for shelter from wind and waves.
  – In area of growing goods transport through
    waterways.
Harbor facilities

•   Waterway
•   Harbor basin
•   Breakwater
•   Berth, Pier
•   Warehouse
•   Stack yard
•   Offices
•   Road
Waterway
• The waterway serve as the road for the vessel to enter the
  harbor. A harbor may be located in shallower water then
  Vessel’s draft. For this reason the area should be dredged
  for harbor basin to enable a vessel to arrive in the basin, a
  channel shall be dredged to connect basin with deeper
  water if required.

Wharf, Pier and Jetty
• All the above are landing places where ships may tie
  up (moored) and may load / unload.
• A pier is a platform extending from a shore over
  water and supported by piles or pillars, used to
  secure, protect, and provide access to ships or boats.
• A quay or wharf usually built parallel to the
  shoreline, often of concrete. It is pronounced, 'key'.
• A jetty is a structure, such as a pier, that projects into
  a body of water to influence the current or tide or to
  protect a harbor or shoreline from storms or
  erosion.

What is a Dock?

             Gate

 Dry Dock
                    Water body

Land area
Dock
Dry / Graving Dock
Is a rectangular basin dug into the shore of a body of water and
provided with a removable enclosure wall or gate on the side
toward the water, used for ship building, major repairs and
overhaul of vessels.

Floating Dock
is a trough-shaped cellular structure, used to lift ships out of
the water for inspection and repairs.
Wet Dock
is a rectangular basin dug into the shore of a water body
without removable enclosure or gate and always open to the
sea but protected from three sides in high tide, else dry.
Dock
Marine railway
A marine railway is a set of tracks which are used with a cradle
to bring ships up out of the water.
Shiplift
It consists of a structural platform that is lifted and lowered
exactly vertical, synchronously by a number of hoists. First, the
platform is lowered underwater, then the ship is floated above
the support, and finally the platform with ship support and ship
is lifted and the ship is brought to the level of the quay.
Slipway
A slipway is a ramp on the shore by which ships or boats can be
moved to and from the water. They are used for building and
repairing ships and boats.

Back in History
Indian Maritime History
• As a peninsular sub continent with over 10000
  km coast line, India is a maritime nation from
  post Ice age, i.e. about 10,000 B.C.
• Indian Ships dominated the vast ocean around
  our peninsula from over 4000 B.C. till 17th
  Century A.D.
• Indian Ocean is the only ocean named after a
  country.
Evidences
• ASI excavated Lothal site from 1955 to 1961, they
  found township and market, factories and public
  utility structures.
• But the Burnt Brick basin built in 2400 B.C. was an
  amazing and unique discovery.
• This is assumed to be world’s first Dock for ship
  building, berthing, loading / unloading and
  passenger movements.
• Ships from Lothal traded to China, coasts of Africa,
  Babylon and Mediterranean areas through red sea
  and Persian Gulf.
• Lothal Scientists used Shell compass to divide sky in
  8-12 parts, 2000 years before Greeks
World’s first Dock
Lothal Dockyard

• The dominant sight at Lothal is the massive
  dockyard which has helped make this place so
  important to international archaeology.
  Spanning an area 37 meters from east to west
  and nearly 22 meters from north to south, the
  dock is said by some to be the greatest work
  of maritime architecture before the birth of
  Christ.
World’s first Dock
Technical aspects
• The dock was connected to sea through old
  course of Sabarmati river.
• Dock was located away from currents of the sea
  to reduce silt deposition to avoid dredging costs
• Unearthed trenches working as inlet chambers
  working as connecting dock to the river were
  existing.
• Some believe that this is a dumping pit for
  sewage of the city of Lothal.
Gujarat – on Maritime Map
• Gujarat, From Lothal till today, remained as an
  important player on World Maritime Map.
• Mundra, Kandla, Alang, Dahej, Jamnagar are
  on this map since ages leaving their
  impressions as Important waterfront places.
• Pipavav, India’s first Public Private partnership
  port,
• Pipavav Shipyard is India’s largest and world’s
  third largest Shipyard today. It will be world’s
  largest shipyard facility by 2014.
Upcoming Projects in Gujarat
These are more then infra projects in any developed country.
Scale and magnitude of these confirms huge requirement of
Civil Engineers working for Marine Construction Projects. In
addition to the projects below, many major ports and
Shipyards of Gujarat are in expansion mode and will need Civil
engineering backup for the same.

Concluding Remarks
• Marine project involves many Civil engineering Sub
  categories like Structural, Geotechnical, Hydraulics,
  Transportation, Water resources and environmental
  Engineering and hence scope remains for each and every
  specialization.
• Marine project execution needs hard work and being away
  from City and Society its least preferred job type, but is a
  very specialized experience and market has scarcity of such
  engineers.
• Technically it’s a very satisfying experience to design and
  execute such projects.
• Scope of Marine engineering was, is and will remain always.
