Vessel for cleaning the ocean from floating garbage (SOO) with modular system of perforated buckets.

This technical proposal describes the concept of an industrial autonomous ocean garbage collector vessel of catamaran type (SOO). The project is developed with emphasis on maximum mechanical reliability in aggressive environment, resistance to strong hydrodynamic loads and maximum high energy efficiency. The key factor and novelty is the rejection of traditional conveyor, chain and shaft mechanisms with power take-off in favor of a segmented system with hydraulic drive of perforated bucket-cages (5 paired modules) with sequential hydromechanical rotation, gravitational drainage and horizontal pushing of garbage into hold baskets with perforated bottom.
