ABSTRACT:
A barge-like vessel for removing floating debris from harbours and canals includes a powered barge section and a front mounted collection basin. The collection basin is substantially the same width as the barge and includes a front opening so that debris floating in the water will pass into the inlet opening as the vessel proceeds across the water. Surface water entering the inlet opening passes through a meshed collection basket and exits aft of the collection basin and ahead of the hull. The vessel includes a haulage system comprising a track so that the collection basket may be lifted from the skimming or collection position and moved rearwardly to dump contents into a hold in the vessel. The track which supports the collection basket during movement may include a switch section so that the basket may be emptied in optional positions by opening the switch section.
