Abstract


The present study aimed to develop a sustainable and contemporary design solution that can be applied to modernize or improve security control in the terminal facility and take away the phobia for water transport. The specific objectives were to: identify the security issues in marine transport terminal in Port Harcourt; analysing the space and placement of facilities in the marine transport terminal in Port Harcourt among others. The use of appropriate materials, forms, and spatial configurations to enhanced the terminal's aesthetic appeal while maintaining functionality. The design concept contained sustainability and environmental considerations and free flow of people in and outside the facility which will enhance the users’ circulation and security. The results of the study reveal among others that all through the terminal, security facilities must be available. Theft of commodities and terminal facilities will be prevented by the provision of security stations. The hotel Accommodations, the terminal building, and the adjacent surroundings all require physical security measures. These measures include the following: Closed circuit television (CCTV), intrusion detection and door security. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were put forward; among which were: The placement of security checks or control buildings within the operational points or units of the marine terminal facility be appropriately spaced apart as this allows for effective security measures to be implemented throughout the terminal.
