Executive Summary | It is important to understand the sediment transport processes around port facilities, especially for minimizing siltation in navigation channels. Sedimentary processes are often due to several site-specific parameters, such as weather and maritime conditions and sediment properties. In this study, the targeted site is the Patimban coast on the north coast of west Java in Indonesia, where a new port is under construction, and field measurements were carried out to elucidate the supply process of fine sediments through the Cipunagara river, which flows into the coastal area. |
