Inland Water Port Headquarters Lokoja (Exploring Alternative Circulation Pattern In Ports)

📄 Project Abstract

Conscious of the importance of inland waterways navigation and transport, the federal government of Nigeria has continually made efforts to ensure navigability along the Niger and Benue rivers since 1954. Conversant with the importance of traffic in ports and the general circulation problems that arise in facilities with multiple and complex circulation systems the research shall focus on exploration of circulation styles in ports. In the light of this task, the research work aims at finding out the problem of traffic flow pattern in ports through constructive assessment of the various planning configuration in ports thus proffering a resultant planning system or configuration if prompted by the research findings. To achieve this research goal, various studies are intended ranging from studies on primary sources of data to secondary sources of data and shall be further reinforced by conditional surveys of existing ports. The proposed inland waterways port lokoja shall constitute the fo...
