The cost of dredging deep channels and other restraints against traditional harbors are such that offshore terminals sometimes offer a better solution. In some regions, it is relatively easy to have deepwater ports.

The early sixteentb-century sailing directions of Pierre Garcie contain the following warning:5 Know that when the sea breaks more than two rollers on the Plateau de St. Jean de Lux (in the Bay of Biscay)

The problem is difficult when only waves and tidal flows are considered. In a recent paper, Kamphuis concludes for hydraulic models: 7 After a number of years of study, coastal mobile bed models are classified and scale effects resulting from various non-similarities are discussed.

The subjects to be considered in each area of concern are: in Design and Maintenance, the principal considerations for design, rules and regulations governing entrances, and aids to navigation; in Concerns of Ships and Users, shipboard aids to navigation and channel width, ship controllability, and other concerns of ship operators and pilots; in Nature and Environment, sedimentation, tidal hydraulics, waves, and the effects of ports and harbors on the environment.
