Since 1962 when the Port and Harbour Research Institute (PHRI) was established, the institution has performed a wide range of fundamental and applied researches, corresponding to the demand of date promptly as a general research institution for port, coast and airport technologies. The results of the researches have been published as REPORT OF THE PORT AND HARBOUR RESERCH INSTITUTE (REPORT) of highly completed studies, and TECHNICAL NOTE OF THE PORT AND HARBOUR RESERCH INSTITUTE (TECHNICAL NOTE) of useful technical papers (See Table-1). These reports have greatly contributed to the development and advancement in the ports, coasts and airports of Japan, and have been acknowledged as high quality and useful reports from overseas.
　As a result of the institutional reform of the Japanese Government, in April, 2001, PHRI was separated into two independent institutions; the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) and Port and Airport Research Institute (PARI). These two newly established institutions have inherited the research that has been performed by PHRI.
　At this historical turning point of PHRI, the PHRI Editorial Board decided to publish the last TECHNICAL NOTE (No.1005) including the list of REPORT and TECHNICAL NOTE, which are the results of PHRI for many years. We really hope that this last technical note would provide researchers and engineers all over the world with the useful information of the past researches performed by PHRI.
　Finally, we would like to express our appreciation for the great kindness shown to PHRI from those who have supported this research institute in the past. We value your continued support, and are grateful of your kind cooperation towards the two new institutions.
