Introduction
A port is a maritime facility which may comprise one or more wharves where ships may dock to
load and discharge passengers and cargo. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary,
some ports, such as Hamburg, Manchester and Duluth, are many miles inland, with access to
the sea via river or canal.

Seaport
A seaport is further categorized as a "cruise port" or a "cargo port". Additionally, "cruise ports"
are also known as a "home port" or a "port of call". The "cargo port" is also further categorized
into a "bulk" or "break bulk port" or as a "container port".

Cargo port
Cargo ports, on the other hand, are quite different from cruise ports, because each handles
very different cargo, which has to be loaded and unloaded by very different mechanical means.
The port may handle one particular type of cargo or it may handle numerous cargoes, such as
grains, liquid fuels, liquid chemicals, wood, automobiles, etc. Such ports are known as the
"bulk" or "break bulk ports". Those ports that handle containerized cargo are known as
container ports. Most cargo ports handle all sorts of cargo, but some ports are very specific as
to what cargo they handle. Additionally, the individual cargo ports are divided into different
operating terminals which handle the different cargoes, and are operated by different
companies, also known as terminal operators or stevedores.

Cruise home port

A cruise home port is the port where cruise ship passengers board (or embark) to start their
cruise and disembark the cruise ship at the end of their cruise. It is also where the cruise ship's
supplies are loaded for the cruise, which includes everything from fresh water and fuel to fruits,
vegetables, champagne, and any other supplies needed for the cruise. "Cruise home ports" are
very busy places during the day the cruise ship is in port, because off-going passengers debark
their baggage and on-coming passengers aboard the ship in addition to all the supplies being
loaded. Currently, the Cruise Capital of the World is the Port of Miami, Florida, closely followed
behind by Port Everglades, Florida and the Port of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Port of call
A port of call is an intermediate stop for a ship on its sailing itinerary. At these ports, cargo ships
may take on supplies or fuel, as well as unloading and loading cargo while cruise liners have
passengers get on or off ship.

Facility Criteria
Entry - is located at the front of the Central Lobby and is the single main entrance for
passengers into the facility; it also can serve as an exit in small and medium terminals.

Central Lobby - serves as the core and provides access to all functions of the terminal. Include
limited seating for waiting passengers. Provide direct access from entry and alternate security
screening area

Passenger Service Kiosks - Provides free standing kiosks with queuing in visible and accessible
areas in Central Lobby near Flight Check-In Counter. Kiosks provide the following services:
• Sign-ups for Space-Available
• Mark-Present Sign-ups
• Standard Check-In

Service Counters - Sub-areas within the Central Lobby cater specifically to departing passengers and
include:

Passenger Service - A staffed counter which allows passengers to sign up for general travel, Space-A
travel and duty stand-by calls.

Lounges - Intended to provide comfortable and inviting spaces for travelers and their families to relax
while in transit.

Passenger Support Conveniences Local conditions determine which optional services are provided.

Food Service - Generally provided in some form in all terminals by the AAFES. Locate vending near
waiting areas or common service functions to be accessed from the central lobby.

Large Terminals - May have dining areas, including food service preparation areas, dry food storage
areas, refrigerator, freezer, staff lockers, and offices.

Small or Medium Terminals - May only have two or three vending machines with adjacent seating.

Telephones - Provide area with on-and-off bases access telephones. In large terminals provide a
separate area for this activity. In small and medium terminals, this area can be located centrally for both
departing and arriving passengers.

Security Screening Area The major check-point prior to entering the Departure Gate Area. This area
includes space for passengers processing through security screening equipment. Consider the following:
• Configure and place both before gate and at entry to avoid congestions with other functions in Central
Lobby
• Minimize queuing space
• Large X-Ray machines, magnetometers, trays, tables, and security personnel
• Secondary security checks with hand, scanners, and the visual inspection of baggage
• Additional power/data connections for security screening equipment

Alcantara, Daniela R. BS-Arch 3-1

Dock Area- a structure built out over water in a port along which ships can land to load and unload, or
the enclosed area of water between two such structures. A dock is also a flat, raised area attached to a
building and used for loading and unloading trucks

Departing Passenger Gate Area This is the final waiting area for passengers prior to boarding the aircraft.
Once entered, passengers may not return to Central Lobby without being rescreened.

Gate Area Corridor - The transition area just past Security Screening that provides access to the gates
and restrooms in medium and large terminals. In small terminals, gate access may be direct from
Security Screening.

Lost and Found - a room adjacent to the Baggage Claim area for this administrative support function.
Size space for a work station and provide lockable closet for unclaimed or mistagged baggage.

Administrative Areas - The Passenger Terminal includes a variety of administrative support spaces. Some
spaces directly relate to passenger processing while other internal offices have little or no contact with
passengers.

Storage - means compensation for port usage or terminal depot or inland container yard facilities. This
charge is levied by the port or the terminal to the shipping line. Actually, these charges are already
included in the rates of the carrier.

Port location is constrained by two physical characteristics of the site. The first involves land access and
the second concerns maritime access. Both must be jointly satisfied as they are crucial for port
operations, which rely on a maritime / land interface. This interface takes the form of a buffer along the
coastline (or a river depending on the port site) that experiences, due to an appropriate site, the
accumulation of port infrastructures. The interface can also be subject to environmental and social
conflicts. Thus, both land and maritime access can impair port operations and port development since a
port benefiting from good land access but from a poor maritime access will be facing constraints as well
as a port that has a good maritime access but a poor land access. However, maritime access is the
attribute that can be mitigated the least. Activities such as dredging and the construction of port
facilities are very expensive, underlining the enduring importance of a good port site. Such a site
conveys the best marginal utility to port infrastructure investments.

Ports are a component of freight distribution as they support export and import activities. They are
points of convergence (collection) of inland and coastal (shot sea) transportation systems, defining a
port’s hinterland. This function may be direct, as freight reaches a port directly through road
transportation, or indirect as freight reaches a port though an inland port or through traffic
consolidation at a feeder port and shipped by coastal transportation or short sea shipping. Likewise,
ports are points of distribution to inland and coastal transportation systems. At the local level, every
port provides services to ships with berths, docks, navigation channels and repairs (occasionally), and
services to merchandises with cranes, warehouses and access to inland distribution systems.
