Abstract

The feasibility of a harbour project, which involves dredging of an access channel, may to a large extent depend on the future maintenance dredging in the channel. It is therefore important to be able to calculate sedimentation in dredged channels with sufficient accuracy. In 1974 and 1975 the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) carried out a study of the most feasible access channel to Warri Port situated in the Western Niger Delta, Nigeria. Two alternative entrances were studied and in conclusion it was recommended to improve the existing access channel through Escravos Entrance.
