Itajaí Advances Preventive Dredging Due to El Niño Effects
The Port Authority of Itajaí has brought forward the mobilization of a hopper suction dredge to reinforce dredging in the access channel to the Port Complex, as a preventive measure against the effects of El Niño. The operation, which would normally take place in mid-September, was moved up due to the increased flow of the Itajaí-Açu River recorded in recent weeks. The channel maintains a depth of up to 14 meters, as verified by the Superintendence's technical team.
