Abstract
This paper examines major U.S. harbor improvements to serve the increasingly larger ships in use or on order in the world fleet. Attention is focused on select harbor projects completed or underway, including channel depths, type of traffic served (container, bulk), cost, changes in scope and why, environmental mitigation measures, and remaining work. Major future projects that have recently been authorized or are underway, such as Houston/Galveston Bay, are highlighted.
