GIS and geographical analysis of the main harbors in the world

This paper points out the possibilities of better exploitation of marine traffic as well as its connection with other kinds of traffic. Special attention is given to the analysis of 1,081 harbors about their availability during the year. The methods and algorithms used in GIS are buffers, cluster, m...

Special attention is given to the analysis of 1,081 harbors about their availability during the year.
