port/harbour area/land

My comment:

"Emprise" often means "territory/area/land" in the sense of a delimited area. It probably refers to extending the actual harbour/port area onto adjacent land.

My references:

Please see definition of "emprise" on this site, if it is referring to the harbour area on land: http://www.bordeaux.fr/ebx/portals/ebx.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pgPresStand8&classofcontent=presentationStandard&id=1586

The asker's comment:

Heather, thanks for your help. I kept researching this and just was not satisfied with "right-of-way", among other translations that I had previous come up with. This makes the most sense in the context. Thanks again.
