Comprehensive program for a harbour development and management requires general and detailed information on the coastal environment including engineering characteristics in addition to physical, chemical and biological parameters. Mormugao Port Trust (MPT), Goa, India envisaged to expand the existing bulk cargo berths. Field measurements on currents, seabed sediment characteristics and suspended sediment load in the nearshore waters were carried out. Studies on wave refraction and diffraction were also carried out. The results of the field measurements and laboratory analysis are discussed in the paper to assess the feasibility of the expansion of existing bulk cargo berths.
