Abstract
The aim of this study was map and estimate fluid mud layers thickness deposits at Itajai-Açu river port area, located in Santa Catarina State (southern Brazil) at Itajai city, using dual frequency bathymetry (33 and 200 kHz) and densitometry data, taking into account the “Nautical Depth” concept stated by PIANC (1997), seeking improvements to navigation of deep-drafted vessels.
