Water Injection Dredging has been performed to create a fluid mud layer in the 8th Petroleumhaven at the Port of Rotterdam. Four measuring tools, conventional multi-beam echo-sounder, DensX, Graviprobe and Rheocable have been used to monitor the fluid mud layer properties over the time.The results suggest that the currently employed density-based nautical depth criterion has to be revised to ensure more efficient navigation in the vicinity of fluid mud layers To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:852bdc86-b922-42fb-ae06-67fc7bb84ce1 Page numbers 11-12 Event INTERCOH 2017, 2017-11-13 → 2017-11-17, Montevideo, Uruguay Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type abstract Rights © 2017 Alex Kirichek, C.
