[email protected] BRUNEI MARITIME MASTERPLAN Acknowledgment This research project completes my study at the faculty Civil Engineering of the Technical University Delft. The project was offered by Halcrow Group Ltd. and provided me with the opportunity to contribute to the maritime development of Brunei. This study provides insight of the development possibilities of Brunei maritime infrastructure and Muara port. I hope that the structure of the approach and its outcome contribute to the realisation of Brunei’s vision on the future maritime development possibilities. I would like to thank my graduation committee members for their guidance, critical remarks and contribution: Chairman prof. ir. H. Ligteringen ir. R. Groenveld ir. J.P. Noppen ir. T. Vellinga. Special thanks goes to mister Richard Clarke of the Ports and Dockyards department of Halcrow Group in London for providing me with the opportunity gaining working experience abroad.
