regards to (1) cargo handling (2) cargo storage (3) integrated transport
of goods, planning multipurpose port terminals.

UNIT-III
Port operations: Allowable wave conditions for cargo handling,
wave conditions for human safety on quays and breakwaters,
forecasting/nowcasting of wave and current conditions for port
operations, dredging and navigability, hazard scenarios; VTMS and
management of computerized container terminal, safety and
environment (handling of fire, oil spill, rescue, etc.).
