An Estuary Decision Support System (EDSS) for the Westerschelde exists with different modules on each field of speciality. The Port Development Module (PDM) is a new module for the Yangtze-EDDS and deals with port development in the estuary. The report contains three different parts. The introduction and problem analysis are given for the whole study in general, while the conclusions can be found separately in the final chapter of each part. Two problems of the port of Shanghai form the background of the study: bad accessibility for large sea vessels and shortage of new port areas. In this study the following four objectives were defined. The first one is the design of the framework for the PDM, which is described in the first part ofthe report. The second and third objective are respectively the definition of new locations for port expansion and the design of a concept for port expansion beyond 2010 and 2020. These two objectives form the subject of the second part of this report. The last objective is to investigate the possibility to use dredged sediment of the navigation channel for reclamation purposes. The third part of this report deals with this subject.
