ABSTRACT:
A pair of elongated arms are articulated on respective sides of a recovery opening mounted on a barge that carries a settling tank for collecting floating material. The draft of the barge is maintained essentially constant during loading of material ingested through the recovery opening and discharged into the tank whereby the depth of immersion of the recovery opening remains substantially constant. The articulation of the arms is such that they can move in a horizontal direction sweep floating material into the recovery opening. Nozzles may be provided on the arms for creating currents that urge floating material swept by the arms into the recovery opening.
