Where multiple sites are being considered, it becomes imperative to carry out a ratings approach where the possible sites are assessed based on a ratings scale with objective weighting coefficients. This paper discusses a methodology applied to a multiple pier site feasibility study of a proposed cargo pier along a relatively sheltered coastline in the Philippines. In order to select the optimal site based on both technical and operational considerations, a multi-criteria ratings approach was applied.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/2VtyKptBIVM">https://youtu.be/2VtyKptBIVM</a></b></html> ER -
