Large scale path loss measurements in sea port are presented. This investigation is useful before deploying Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) equipments to provide last mile Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) for ships and boats in the sea port. Measurements were carried out at 5.8 GHz. Two-ray model fits measured large scale path loss reasonably well. When the distance is very large, the received signal was found to attenuate at the rate of more than double of that of the free space. The attenuation rate was found to depend on the antenna's height.
