Natural conditions of building and exploitation, sea-ports and port constructions are
different for tidal and untidal seas. Principal differences are as follows: in the coastal
zone of untidal seas, there are no essential tidal sea-level fluctuations including those
of large amplitude and there are no reversible tidal currents. Tidal flats and muddy
alongshore flows of drifts occur seldom. Differences of tidal characteristics influence
the choice of construction and the nature of port configurations. An acute deficiency
of drifts in the coastal zone poses the greatest danger for connected shores after the
completion of port-related constructions (e.g., jetting, canals, piers).
For untidal systems (amplitudes less than 0.5 m), ports can be divided according to
environmental conditions into those which are situated: a) in harbours with shallow
nearshore water depths, b) in harbours with deep nearshore water depths, c) in
lagoons and limans, d) in river estuaries, e) on smoothed deep nearshore bottoms,
and f) on smoothed shallow nearshore bottoms. Different combinations of the
variants mentioned above are possible. Ports from a, c and f deserve the greatest
attention. Ports developed in these environments require numerous and expensive
construction and offer the greatest potential impact on connected shores.
In this work conditions ofa, c and f types of environments are analyzed. Under such
conditions outer portal constructions (piers, jetties, navigable canals, moles, etc.)
represent artificial obstacles for sediment drift movement. These structures promote
redistribution of drifts in the coastal zone and alter conditions of development of
connected natural shores.
