(mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Programme Ports & waterways Date 2010-06-18 Abstract On a national level need has arisen for Turkey to realise a new large capacity gateway port. At the Black Sea coast in the province Zonguldak a flat area is available at the delta of the regional river Filyos. According to a previous feasibility study this location is considered optimal for the port. The extent of the captive area is promising. There is expected cargo transport demand from the metropolitan area of Ankara and of the planned local industry. Furthermore, the site conditions and possibility to connect with the hinterland are favourable at Filyos. The objective for the thesis study is to develop a port layout that offers capacity for the forecasted throughput at adequate operational conditions. To guarantee that the requirements with respect to operational conditions are met, several engineering solutions are implemented in the design. The operational conditions for merchant vessels depend to a large extent on the possibility to manoeuvre in the harbour and to load and unload at berth. These conditions are amongst others influenced by the climate of wind, waves and currents. Focus laid in this thesis study is on the wave climate in the harbour and at the berths. A well considered allocation, orientation and shape of the harbour entrance and berths is therefore essential. The other focus is laid on the dry infrastructure. Sufficient space for storage and through transport of cargo is required. Furthermore, advisory is needed with respect to the superstructures and the use of human resources. In order to design the port layout a thorough analysis is carried out in the thesis. The various boundary conditions for the project are analysed and reported. Amongst others, an overview is provided of socio-economic developments, hinterland connections and forecasts of throughput & vessel sizes for various scenarios. Furthermore, physical conditions are analysed, which are primarily based on obtained survey data. Where information about boundary conditions lacked, starting points are used of which a separate overview is provided. For the main requirements of the project an overview is made, which completes the boundary condition analysis. In order to develop the layouts, minimum component dimensions are required in combination with an overview of the preferred shape, orientation and location. For this purpose different design guidelines are followed. In order to derive required dimensions in time phasing of the project is chosen. Three significantly different alternatives are considered in the project including phasing for the medium term (until 2020) and long term (until 2030). These layouts are evaluated on the basis of the following requirements: nautical accessibility and safety, loading and unloading ability at berth, through transport and storage ability, robustness and coast morphological impact. The best layout is selected for further refinement on basis of a qualitative Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and on an analysis of capital costs. Costs have turned out to be decisive in the selection of the best alternative. The most promising alternative of the previous step is refined with respect to the inner harbour configuration. Different terminal and berth positions and orientations are considered, resulting in two variants of the layout alternative. The layouts are given a quantitative value with the use of an MCE, which are based on model simulations and engineering judgement. A coast morphological model (UNIBEST CL+) and a wave model (SWAN) have been setup for this purpose. Both the resulting values and estimated capital costs of the different layout variants turned out to be close to each other. The layout with the highest ratio of value over cost is selected as best.
