The recent Port of Santos deepening of dredging, from 13 to 15 meters deep, has increased the maintenance dreading volume. In this sense, this study analyzes the influence of jetties in the currents velocities along Port of Santos access and navigation channel using hydrodynamic numerical modeling. In general, the velocity maps of each proposed jetty show an increase of currents's velocities at the mouth of the jetties.
