A complete update on the advances and developments in the sector, in a high-level postgraduate diploma" 

The module, in addition to defining port planning and its historical evolution, develops the different port planning instruments required for the exercise of the profession specialized in port infrastructures.

The module is complemented, of course, with the contents of the State Ports Maritime Works Recommendations for port planning and includes the compilation of the up-to-date international regulations necessary for the design of maritime works globally.

The port planning and regulation module will provide the student with the ability to carry out the port infrastructure planning exercise and the regulatory tools for the design of 
port infrastructures.

Port dredging is one of the most important engineering activities in the port sector, due to its magnitude and possible impacts.

This is why the professional dedicated to port infrastructures is required to have a wide knowledge of the materials to be dredged, as well as the proper selection of equipment, the fillings coming from such dredging, the dredging methodology and the different environmental considerations.

All these points are addressed in the dredging and pavement module in an efficient and practical way.

The preparation of the module is completed with the port pavements, an indispensable unit in almost every port action. The different standards for their design will also be discussed, including the latest Maritime Works Recommendations for the design and construction of pavements, ROM 4.1-18 and their comparison with other international standards such as those based on the British Standard.

During the execution of port infrastructure works, knowledge of the different specific work units, construction materials and the appropriate choice of machinery plays a 
fundamental role. 

This is why it is essential to plan the construction properly and always taking into account the different recommendations issued by official bodies such as State Ports and the experience of experts in the field, the module also develops the content of the Guide of Good Practices in the Execution of Maritime Works issued by that body.
