  From Baseline Survey to Management Plan: A Systematic Framework for Port-Specific Mitigation of Underwater Radiated Noise

  By Amit Kumar Singh, G.V.V Pavan Kumar, P. Sirisha, D.S.P Vidyasagar

  Abstract: The growing recognition of underwater radiated noise (URN) as a significant marine pollutant necessitates the development of actionable management frameworks at the port level, where noise sources are concentrated, and impacts can be particularly acute. While international guidelines exist, a standardized methodology for ports to transition from assessment to implementation is lacking, particularly in regions with high biodiversity and developing maritime infrastructure. This paper presents and demonstrates a systematic, four-phase …

  Hydrodynamic and Sedimentation Modelling for Capacity Optimization of OR1, OR2, and Fertilizer Berths at Visakhapatnam Port, India

  By M. Phani Kumar, Kapil Walke, Prabhat Chandra

  Abstract: This study presents comprehensive hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling undertaken to assess the impact of proposed deepening and development at the Western Arm of the Visakhapatnam Inner Harbor, India, encompassing OR1, OR2, and Fertilizer berths. The work, carried out by the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) for the Visakhapatnam Port, utilized the MIKE 21 Flexible Mesh (FM) finite-volume model to simulate hydrodynamic and siltation conditions under existing and …
