Compensation required for port area in ruins (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reparation

'compensation' is the definition.
(I know that reparation is a type of compensation)

'port area in ruins' is the wordplay.
'ruins' indicates an anagram.
'port'+'area'+'in'='portareain'
'portareain' with letters rearranged gives 'REPARATION'.

'required for' is the link.

(Other definitions for reparation that I've seen before include "compensation" , "The making of amends for a wrong" , "damages" , "process of putting things right again" , "make redress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
