"The book demonstrates the different solutions and pitfalls, successes and failures in a large number of ports in the Asian Pacific region by means of case studies. It contains 28 chapters … addressing the environmental conditions of the main harbours … . also gives extensive information related to the hydrographic, and oceanographic processes in this area. … The book certainly is of interest for people working in a field that in some way or the other is related to marine environmental issues … ."
