ECONOMIC-ASPECTS OF BACKPASSING - NEW-TYPE PROFILING BY NEW-TYPE EQUIPMENT

This brief communication is written in continuation of the paper on ''Bypassing and Backpassing at Harbors, Navigation Channels, and Tidal Entrances: Use of Shallow-Water Draft Hopper Dredgers with Pump-out Capabilities'', published by the Journal of Coastal Research, 8(4), 972-978. It explains the economic advantages of the operation of shallow-water draft hopper dredgers combined with profile-nourishment. For reasons of clarity, the writer used two schematics explaining essential facts about the operation.
