Many new port and terminal developments require long, deep navigation channels through shallow water to allow access. Such channels can have a significant effect on the propagation of waves and it is important to consider this at an early design stage to minimise wave disturbance at berths. This paper reviews the hydrodynamic processes involved and presents examples where the orientation of navigation channels can be beneficial or detrimental. Some innovative ways to reduce waves through the optimisation of channel alignment and dredged-area design are described.
