The measurement and dredging of sediments in ports and waterways is increasing. The most common and cost-effective method for detecting the structure and properties of underwater sediments is to use acoustic principles to detect them. In this paper, the principle of shallow depth profiler and multi-beam sounding system is introduced. The principle of acoustic sounding instrument in dredging measurement is introduced. The feasibility and application scope of such acoustic instrument in port dredging measurement are discussed.
