Therefore, the main purpose of this study was the use of geoestatistic methods to analyse athymetric (depth), physical-oceanographic (currents and waves) and weather (winds) data of the access channel to the Port of Cabedelo and its evolution basin. It also includes resources as Remote Sensing (LANDSAT ETM+ images) in order that the images, the maps and the achieved results may be integrated into Geographical Information Systems and used as an aid in the elaboration of measures and contingency plans that have as purpose the environmental conservation of coastal areas under the infl uence of large facilities in the event of accidental oil spills in the region. As main results can be pointed out the elaboration of fi ve bathymetric charts with meter depth on the scale of 1:2000 according to the standard of the Diretoria de Hidrografi a e Navegação (DHN), showing the main submerged morphologies for the evolution basin (place where the ships moor) and the access channel to the Port of Cabedelo. From the dispersion diagram of the currents vectors of the Port of Cabedelo evolution basin, it can be observed as the tide current suff ers a canalization due to the river Paraiba do Norte channel and in a bidirectional way caused by the tide eff ects (low and high tide) in the Port of Cabedelo evolution basin, in the NW-SE direction and that the currents highest speed happens at low tide. The weather characterization showed values within the expected averages. The integration of multi-sources products (digital maps and remote sensors images) appeared to be effi cient to describe and set submerged features off which had been not yet noticed on the imagesAttribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/br/BatimetriaPorto de cabedeloDerrame de óleoarticle10.20502/rbg.v17i1.737
