ABSTRACT:
A marine sanitation holding vessel basically comprising a welded aluminum barge; a waste removal system mounted on the barge; and a ventilation system mounted on the barge. The barge is of modular construction and comprises three basic sections: first and second end sections and an elongate middle section. The waste removal system includes first and second pumps, a battery for storing power for operating the pumps, a receptacle for receiving waste from portable toilets, and a solar generating system for charging the battery. The first pump withdraws waste material from the holding tank to be emptied and deposits it into the barge storage tank. The second pump provides water for cleansing the receptacle for receiving waste collected in portable toilets. The ventilation system comprises a hollow mast painted black to heat the mast and thus generate an upward draft within the mast which draws the fumes from within the storage tank. The ventilation system further comprises a charcoal filter element located below the mast through which the fumes must pass while being ventilated to the surrounding environment. The mast is hinged to the barge to allow the mast to be rotated towards the horizontal to allow access to: (a) the charcoal filter element and an opening into the barge storage tank; and (b) the interior of the storage tank.
