本书主要目的是介绍港口功能和生产运营的基本知识，阐述港口规划与布置的基本原理和方法。全书采用洪承礼教授《港口规划与布置》第二版的结构体系，第一部分是港口规划与布置的基本教学内容，第二部分是附录，供学生扩充知识知识领域时参考。在内容安排上，力求与港口发展的实际和现行规范衔接。重点加强了近年迅速发展的集装箱、LDN／LPG码头、滚装码头布置的介绍。在实例安排上，不仅密切联系中国港口的实际，也适当安排了国外港口的典型例子，以扩大学生的视野。

本书主要介绍港口规划与布置所涉及的港口营运、港口规划调查及分析、码头及水域布置、陆域设施、港口发展规划以及环境评价与环境保护等问题。它可作为港口航道与海岸工程专业本科生英文版教科书，亦可作为土木、水利、交通运输类专业的港口课程英文版教材。对从事港口规划、建设、技术管理和港口经营以及从事交通运输综合管理的工程师、经济师们，也是一本有益的专业英文参考书。
