II. TYPES OF HARBORS 



1. Commercial. Consideration of commercial facilities in this report is limited mainly to 

 harbors for commercial fishing fleets, barges, and small-craft transportation terminals, 

 including berths for excursion craft of various kinds. Figure 1 shows a typical small-craft 

 commercial harbor used primarily by a west coast fishing fleet and a few charter boats. 

 Small-craft facilities are often within or adjacent to harbors built primarily for deep-draft 

 cargo or passenger vessels. In such cases, large ships and small craft will move through the 

 same waters. Planning criteria must be adopted to reduce the collision hazard to a minimum 

 without curtailing the activities of either class more than is essential for navigational safety. 

 Otherwise the planning of such small-craft facilities should follow the guidelines contained 

 herein.
