Coastal ports represent a fundamental component of a country's critical infrastructure, and their surveillance is essential to enhance resilience against natural and man-made disruptions to their operations. Furthermore, the increasing availability of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (e.g., UAVs, UGVs, and USVs) has paved the way for their use in surveillance and patrolling tasks. In this paper, we present a patrolling approach for monitoring ports infrastructure utilizing a group of heterogeneous vehicles. Our approach has the following steps: 1) Abstractions that capture the valid motions of the vehicles in a port area are designed; 2) Regions that are visible through line of sight are computed; and 3) An algorithm that finds patrolling cycles to monitor critical port locations with existing energy budgets is developed. We tested our approach through one case study to validate its practical utility.
