Corrosion deterioration of port infrastructure is a major challenge that results in expensive repairs and downtime of port facilities. Implementing corrosion mitigation and prevention to port infrastructure can save significant time and money while reducing crucial infrastructure downtime. This paper will discuss what corrosion management strategies can be implemented on port infrastructure. Implementing best management practices like more corrosion resistant designs, proper coating maintenance, and cathodic protection can improve port infrastructure durability and reduce the cost of maintenance over the long term. Preserving infrastructure not only has a financial impact, but it also has a positive environmental impact through the reduction of new construction materials and demolition waste. The paper will discuss the different types of corrosion mitigation strategies and how they are implemented on various port infrastructure. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each method, and what kind of service life can a port expect from these strategies?
