GRS identification number: #1040757
The vessel will help to avoid the expensive double handling. The material can be tipped directly and precisely below and above the water level. Loaded draft is only 2,20 meters and LPP of less than 50 meters, highly maneuverable with two rudder propellers, operated with a small crew. In short, they solve all challenges when water depth is an issue.
Cargo capacity is approximately 560 ton. The vessels can in principle load more in tons, but the limitation is the volume or the capacity in m3. Vessel have been converted to carry marine construction material, especially rock of different grading, and can handle material from sand to more than 10-ton block size and all between. Tipping in same position will
end up leaving the heap on top of the water surface.
Compared to bottom discharge options the vessel needs much less depth on discharge area, meaning smaller onsite machinery if materials will be recovered or handled. Possible to discharge above the water level. The vessel can enter and tip the materiel on almost no water – depending on the seabed or bottom conditions.
Main key points:
- reducing double handling on site
- reducing breakages
- flexibility in dumping locations
- tipping below and above the water level
- an environmentally friendly delivery option
- possible to transport materials from Quarry with bigger self-discharger vessels. Discharge from them
directly onto the “side tipper”. Tip the material directly in the water.
Lately been used for:
- Moving dredging material, sand, aggregates, and rock armourstone
- onsite machine transport etc.
- logging transport vessels where self-discharging system may be possible to utilize.
- construction works, such as delivery of armourstones for erosion protection, breakwater construction
material delivery, mass changes on marine construction sites and removal of underwater mining materials as well dredging materials.
