MarCom Annual Report 2013
1. General Programme In 2013, MarCom continued to pay specific attention to reducing the number of ongoing Working Groups, with a special focus on finalizing those that have been active for longer. This activity has required significant efforts to Working Group Chairpersons and MarCom Mentors in the follow-up of the Working Groups, and to MarCom members in general in review tasks. With the two Terms of Reference approved during the year, the objective is to dedicate Working Groups to topics of very high interest for the PIANC Community and at the same time achieve a steady flow limiting the duration of the Working Groups whenever possible while keeping the high quality standard required to PIANC Reports and even increasing it. There was also progress in the definition of topics for new Working Groups, addressing two key issues: use of Ship-Handling simulation for channel and harbour design and design of small and medium LNG Terminals, including bunkering facilities. A significant input regarding topics for future Working Groups on Port Terminals will be derived from the ongoing WG 158 “Masterplans for the Development of Existing Ports”, already at an advanced status. Ongoing Working Groups and Terms of Reference address the most highly rated topics from the MMX questionnaire drafted during the MMX PIANC Congress in Liverpool. MarCom has been reviewing during 2013 its Action Plan in line with the ongoing revision of PIANC Strategic Plan. Mentoring of Working Groups was a key discussion topic, oriented to improve management, development and efficiency of the Working Groups and the quality of the Reports. Meetings In 2012, MarCom organised two commission meetings:
Brussels, January 29th and 30th
Sendai (Japan),September 11th and 12th, hosted by the Japanese National Section. The meeting was combined with a technical visit to the Tsunami damaged Ports in Miyagi prefecture.
MarCom membership
MarCom Annual Report 2013
2
Three new National Sections are now represented in PIANC: Turkey (Mr Burak Bilgin), Poland (Mr. Maciej Gucma) and Australia (Mr. Peter Fountain and Mr. Mr. Scott Wiliam Keane). This new members increase MarCom geographic presence substantially. Mr. Mohammad Reza Allahyar replaced Mr. Ali Akbar Safaaei as representative of the National Section of Iran. At present there are 31 MarCom members, amongst them one is chairman, four are alternate members and three are Young Professionals. 2. Presentations A presentation was done by Mr. Lucien Halleux, Chairman of WG 144 “Classification of soils and rocks for the Maritime Dredging Process”. 3. Publications In 2013, two MarCom Working Group Reports were published by PIANC.
WG 118-2013 (Former MarCom-Incom EG) “Direct Access to Maritime Ports by adapted Inland Waterway Vessels” (Chairman Mr. Caude, France)
The Report starts with the analysis of relevant case studies in ports from Europe, U.S.A. and China, including legislation issues. Methods used to improve safe access of Inland Waterway Vessels (adapted) to Maritime Ports are addressed such as:
o Wave and wind analysis required o Determination of Environmental forces and their effects on Vessel stability o Evaluation of restricted seaworthiness of Inland Waterway Vessels in Maritime
areas, including risk analysis of the vessel o Practice
The Report finishes with a set of recommendations drafted by the Expert Group.
WG 120-2013 (Former MarCom WG 51) “Water Injection Dredging” (Chairman Mr. Smits, Belgium)
MarCom Annual Report 2013
3
Water Injection Dredging is a four-step process with the following sequence: injection of water (low pressure), fluidization of top sediment layers, generation of density flow over the bottom and sustainable relocation. This process has obvious environmental advantages, but it is only suitable under specific conditions regarding characteristics of the site, sediments, bathymetry and hydrodynamics. The main applications are maintenance dredging, shallows in sandy rivers, cleaning of locks, jetties, pipelines and other infrastructure and levelling of hopper tracks and trimming of slopes. In addition to the above mentioned issues, the Report addresses the theoretical analysis and physical principles on which the method is based, specific equipment, environmental conditions and monitoring of the process. Also contractual conditions are addressed because of the specific features of the process. Finally, a comprehensive set of Case Studies is shown.
WG 121 Harbour Approach Channels: completed in 2013 At the end of 2013, three additional Working Group reports are ready for publication in PIANC HQ:
WG 121 (Former MarCom WG49) “Harbour Approach Channels Design Guidelines”, that will be the successor to one of the most important former PIANC Reports, WG 30 “Approach Channels. A guide for Design”, issued in 1997.
Special publication on “Tsunami Disasters in Ports due to the Great East Japan Earthquake”
WG 135 “Design principles for Container Terminals in Small and medium Ports”
4. Progress of MarCom Working Groups The status of ongoing MarCom Working Groups can be summarized as follows.
MarCom Annual Report 2013

WG 47 « Criteria for the Selection of Breakwater Types » The Chairman of the WG has distributed to its members a draft for discussion. Once the Working Group agrees on a final text will be reviewed by MarCom members. WG 48 « Guidelines for Port Constructions related to Bow Thrusters » The Report has already been reviewed by MarCom and will be ready for publication as soon as the Final version is received from the Working Group. WG 144 « Classification of Soils and Rocks for the Maritime Dredging Process » The Final Report should be forwarded to MarCom soon for publication. A first version of the Report will be published in electronic format and, after a year during which observations from readers and experts are expected, the Final version will be drafted. WG 145 « Berthing Velocities and Fender Design » Activities are ongoing. The Working Group has gathered a lot of information. A presentation to MarCom is expected in February 2014. WG 152 « Guidelines for Cruise Terminals » The new Chairman, Mr. David Pino has started his activity in September. The WG has fully resumed its activity. WG 153 « Recommendations for the Design of Marine Oil Terminals » The Working Group is making good progress. WG 158 Masterplans for the Development of Existing Ports The Working Group progresses very well according to schedule,. A presentation to MarCom and a draft final report are expected in February 2014. WG 159 Renewable Energy for Maritime Ports The Working Group is in progress. A questionnaire has been distributed to National Sections through PIANC HQ. EG 160 (ex WG 50) « Overview of Design Codes and Guidelines for Harbour Structures » The EG has resumed activity. WG 161 Interactions between Offshore Windfarms and Maritime Navigation The Working Group has started activity. WG 162 – Recommendations for increased durability and service life of marine concrete infrastructure The Working Group is active, with a first draft report foreseen in 2014 and completion in 2015.

WG 164 Upgrade of Port Terminals by increasing dredged depth As there is no candidate to chair the Working Group, the kickoff meeting will be organized by MarCom Chairman and Secretary and try to start the activity anmd select a Chairperson. WG 165 - Design and Maintenance of Container Terminal Pavements The WG is active. A first draft report is expected by the end of 2014. WG 167 Design of combined terminals for Ro-Ro and Ro-Pax vessels The Chairman was designated in September 2013 and the Group is ready to start. 5. New Working Groups ExCom approved the following two Terms of Reference in 2013:
WG 171- “Ship Handling Simulation Dedicated to Channel and Harbour Design” The evolution of the size, variety, manoeuvring capacity and behaviour of ships as well as the improvements and developments in available tools support the need to set a new Working Group that will update the Report of Working Group 20 from 1992. The Working Group Report will provide guidelines and recommendations on best practice in the application of Ship handling Simulation to verify the design of approach channels to harbours and terminals and the manoeuvring areas within harbours as well as to check safe manoeuvres beforehand.
WG 172- “Design of small and medium LNG terminals including bunkering facilities”
The potential of use of LNG as an alternative fuel for ships is now a relevant issue due to recent IMO regulations and as part of the debate on improving the environmental performance of shipping. Nowadays, most LNG operations are concentrated in large dedicated terminals but, among other needs, bunkering with LNG requires investment on appropriate infrastructure and this fact increases the demand of guidelines and recommendations for the design of small and medium LNG terminals and even potential integration of those in multipurpose terminals. The Working Group will investigate jetties and berths, land installations, marine transfer arms for loading and unloading, technical requirements and design, safety aspects and risk assessment. The final product will be a set of recommendations and guidelines for design and operation of small and medium LNG terminals including bunkering facilities.

Special Activities PIANC-MarCom Seminar in Japan 2013 After the September MarCom meeting and Technical visit, several MarCom members participated actively in the PIANC-MarCom Seminar in Japan 2013, organized by the National Section of Japan. The Seminar was preceded by a visit to the Port of Tokyo and its Museum, including some of the sites for the venue of the 2020 Olympic Games. 8. MarCom Technical Visit Last September 12th PIANC National Section of Japan hosted a visit to the ports in Miyagi Prefecture that were severely damaged by the Tsunami. MarCom visited several sites, accompanied by Mr. Koichi Sase, from Tokohu Regional Development Bureau, organization from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in charge of the reconstruction programme of the region. The visit included Onagawa Port, Ishinomaki fishery port, with presentations by the Fisheries Infrastructure Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Fisheries, and finally the Sendai-Shiogama Port with an impressive overview of the reconstruction of the port terminals. MarCom had the opportunity to know on site the huge extent of the damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and to appreciate the real complexity of the reconstruction process that involved impressive efforts in engineering, planning, management, cooperation and stakeholder involvement, which have been the tools for success in this outstanding challenge. MarCom wishes to thank the host of the September meeting, the PIANC National Section of Japan, specially the President of the National Section Dr.Sunohara and MarCom member Mr. Higuchi, as well as the Authorities that presented the different sites during the technical visit.
