Worldwide Small Port Analysis

This initiative aims to collect and analyze data on small ports worldwide, identifying opportunities for enhancements such as lightweight causeways and breakwaters. By focusing on small ports and employing a bottom-up methodology, the project aims to benefit multiple stakeholders and supplement existing efforts. With a current status of over 600 analyzed ports, the vision is to continue expanding the database and develop a robust port characterization model. Let's optimize global small port infrastructure together!
