Abstract
    Since end 2011 maintenance dredging material from the port of Antwerp, right bank, is mechanically dewatered by the AMORAS dewatering installation. Before the dredged material is pumped to the AMORAS site, it is temporally stored in an underwater storage cell in one of the port shelter-docks. The fresh maintenance dredging material is disposed into the underwater cell by split hopper barges. The presented paper investigates the behaviour of freshly disposed sediments in the underwater cell by means of an in situ measuring campaign monitoring mud volume changes and tracking the disposed sediment plumes during and after a disposal of 5400 m3 fresh sediment.
