Definitions
- This invention relates to a barge for disposing of oil slicks. It is known to contain a floating oil slick by means of an elongate floating wall which may be made of netting or of imperforate material and which is towed behind a vessel.
- the object of the invention is to provide a barge for use with such elongate floating walls and for collecting the floating oil contained by such walls.
- a barge for disposing of oil slicks comprising a bottomless hull composed of buoyant walls enclosing a space, and transfer means having an inlet for drawing in oil from outboard of the hull at the forward end thereof and an outlet for discharging into the space.
- Fig. 1 ia a diagrammatic plan view of a barge according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic longitudinal sectional view of the barge in Fig. 1
- a barge comprises a bottomless hull composed of buoyant walls, i.e. a forward wall
- Transfer means in the form of a pump 6 is housed in the wall 1, having an inlet 7 and an outlet 8.
- a fully swivellable thruster 9 mounted outboard of the hull on the wall 2 is a fully swivellable thruster 9. The pump 6 and the thruster 9 are driven from a prime mover 10 supported above the space 5 and spanning between the walls 3 and 4.
- the prime mover 10 may comprise a diesel engine and a hydraulic power unit.
- the pump 6 may be of variable capacity and/or speed.
- an endless conveyor belt having an upper run rising upwards and rearwards at a shallow angle from a location outboard the forward end of the hull and provided with pockets for carrying oil for discharge into the space 5.
- the barge is towed behind two vessels (not shown) spaced apart line abreast, via two elongate floating walls represented by the broken lines 11 and 12
- the two vessels follow a course towards an oil slick and on respectively opposite sides thereof so that the oil slick becomes contained between the floating walls 11 and 12.
- Sea water and oil are drawn in via the inlet 7 and discharged into the space 5.
- the sea water and oil become calm and the oil floats in a gradually deepening Layer 13 which displaces the sea water out through the open bottom of the hull.
- ballasting of the barge plays no part in ballasting the barge but ballasting of the barge to suit sea conditions can be achieved by making the walls 1,2,3 and 4 hollow and introducing sea water into the hollow or removing it therefrom. Additionally, the height of the inlet 7 can be adjusted to the outboard sea level.
- the thruster 9 is provided to correct for any drifting of the barge.
- the barge need not be manned since all necessary controls can be performed by radio from one of the towing vessels.
