The subject of the study is the conceptual design of a mobile emergency port package capable of restoring a disaster-stricken port to partial operation or creating a temporary port in an unimproved area. An analysis was made of a number of port disasters in the period since World War I in order to gain insight as to the need and possible effectiveness of a mobile emergency port package. The sampling included natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; accidental disasters, such as fires and explosions; military operations involving landings; and ports damaged by military action.
