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

My comment:

"Emprise riveraine" is "waterfront right of way", so this could be "port shipping right of way".

I should have added that this would be if the "emprise" relates to the water aspect of the port/harbour. Sorry. Please see my other answer for the "land" aspect of the harbour.

for port expropriation

My comment:

According to Larousse's Advanced French/Englsih Dictionary, "emprise" can be translated as "expropriation," in the administrative and legal senses. According to Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, "expropriation" refers to "land that is taken from its owner; esp. to take for public use or in the public interest, as by right of eminent domain."

for the port enterprise

My comment:

Selon French/English Science and Technology par DeVries et Hochman, "emprise" peut se traduire comme "enterprise."
