"Port engineering primarily deals with the design, construction, operation, management, and maintenance of ports, overlapping with many other disciplines. This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers. It covers all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way including dredging, aids to navigation, marinas, environmental issues, and dry bulk, general cargo, multi-purpose, Ro-Ro and, ferry terminals. Discussions targeted at a conceptual design level are augmented by examples and case studies. Features: Covers all aspects of port engineering including maritime trade, environmental aspects, port management, and so forth. Illustrates design ofport terminals. Discusses site selection for a new port, the factors to be considered and ways to compare different potential port sites. Explores asset registers and individual asset maintenance plans. Includes case studies, examples, and practical and user-friendly guidelines. This book is aimed at graduate students in port engineering or more specifically: port design, port planning, terminal design, marinas, dredging, port maintenance, shipping and maritime trade, aids to navigation, and transport engineering"--

Koos Schoonees qualified as civil engineer at Stellenbosch University (SU), Stellenbosch, South Africa (SA) in 1978. He obtained a masters degree and a Ph. D., both in coastal engineering at SU. He is a professional engineer at the Engineering Council of SA as well as a member of the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC) and the SA Institution of Civil Engineering. He acted as reviewer for many journals.

His career started at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Stellenbosch. Later, he joined Entech, which became part of the worldwide WSP Group of consulting engineers. From 2015 to 2020, he occupied the Transnet National Ports Authority of South Africa (TNPA) Teaching Chair in Port and Coastal Engineering at SU as associate professor. He was responsible for the postgraduate training and supervision of port and coastal engineers. He retired in December 2021.

Koos has over 40 years of experience. He worked as a consulting engineer, a researcher, and as an academic. He worked on port design (e.g. layout and container and dry bulk terminals), dredging, breakwaters (including stability, toe rock and scour), beach stability, shore protection, sizes of various types of ships, marinas, sand bypassing, marine outfalls, fenders, specialist studies for environmental impact assessments, beach improvement schemes, recurve seawalls, physical and mathematical modelling, and coastal zone management. Apart from numerous contract and research reports, Koos is the author and co-author of 31 scientific journal and conference papers.

Koos has worked in numerous countries around the world (mainly in Southern Africa and the Middle East, where he was based in Abu Dhabi). He has undertaken study visits across the world.
