Introduction
The Cebu International Port is one of the busiest ports in the Philippines. The Port
of Cebu has positioned itself as the trailblazer as far as Philippine ports sector is
concerned, with highly impressive year-on-year tonnage throughput growth of 24.43%
forecast Philippines Shipping Report Q1 2012.
However, due to the high demand of cargo volume, the existing Cebu
International Port has been congested, handling more than of its intended capacity.
Though it is internationally operated, the existing cargo seaport cannot accommodate
larger international cargo ships due to the shallow depth beneath its berths. It is also
noticed that the infrastructure & facilities should be upgraded to world class standard in
order for the efficiency of the port operation and services to enhance the transport and
trade competitiveness of the Cebu Port.
Statement of the problem:
How to design an international cargo seaport that will have a high trading
volume of cargoes?
What are the different cargo ships that will dock in the cargo
seaport?
What is their respective berth depths needed?
What are the new possible international cargo ships that can be
accommodated?
What are the different cargoes to be handled in the cargo
seaport?
How to enhance the facilities and infrastructure of a cargo seaport to achieve
world class standards?
What are the different laws and/or standards for cargo seaport
planning and design?
What are the facilities and infrastructure that are present in the
existing cargo port?
What are the possible facilities and infrastructure to be upgraded
and/or added to have efficient service and to enhance the
navigational safety of the cargo seaport?
How the facilities and infrastructure will be treated in order to reduce or avoid
negative environmental impacts to be brought by the cargo seaport?
What are the possible elements that will be harmed during the
construction and operation of the cargo seaport?
What are the sustainable strategies to be applied unto the cargo
seaport design?
Objectives
To design an international cargo seaport that will have a high trading volume of
cargoes
To enhance/upgrade the facilities and infrastructures of the cargo seaport to
achieve world class standards thus, enhancing the Cebu transport and trade
competitiveness
To comprehensively plan sustainable cargo seaport that is harmless to the
environment
