Dramatic transformation in the context in which seaports function has generated new demands and constraints that can not be effectively dealt with by traditional paradigms of port planning and management. This paper provides an overview of the changes in the context in which port planning and operations take place, discusses some ways in which container port performance can be measured, surveys technological developments that can improve port performance, and examines contemporary dredging techniques and methods available for providing increased vessel access and expanded port facilities while minimizing undesirable effects on the environment. The emphasis is on systems perspective, in which a focus on improving the performance of discrete elements of the system may result in suboptimal performance of the whole
