The start of feeding the 800 meters of this sand strip is scheduled for next Friday, June 26, marking the final phase of the coastal reconstruction carried out by Jan De Nul.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the coastal strengthening works have achieved 93% execution. Of the 8.8 kilometers predicted in the project, 7.3 kilometers have already received new sand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Itapo\u00e1, we combine two major challenges: improving access to the Ba\u00eda da Babitonga and strengthening a vulnerable coastline. During the first phase, carried out in the autumn of 2025, our trailing suction hopper dredger Galileo Galilei deepened the access channel to the port. We reused the dredged sand to widen a degraded stretch of coastline,\u201d Jan De Nul said.<\/p>\n<p>To improve maritime accessibility, the company increased the depth of the access channel from \u201314 to \u201316 meters. In total, Jan De Nul removed 11.9 million cubic meters of sand. This deepening allows larger vessels to reach the port safely and increases the region\u2019s logistical capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe link the deepening of the access channel to targeted coastal protection, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable marine engineering solutions. By guiding natural sediment flows, we protect infrastructure and communities while restoring ecological balance along the coast,\u201d said Jan De Nul.<\/p>\n<p>This project is the result of a public\u2011private partnership between the S\u00e3o Francisco do Sul Port Authority and the Itapo\u00e1 Terminal.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Port of S\u00e3o Francisco said that the final stage of one of the largest coastal engineering projects&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[941,4,450,310278,451,256269,243703,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-720992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-brazil","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-coastal-engineering","tag-headlines","tag-itapoa","tag-jan-de-nul","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
