"Suimen Sumashi" collects floating debris from ports and other areas from the bow of the ship and secures it inside the vessel. Thanks to patented technology, it can be collected even when the ship is stationary.
Small floating objects and debris that float in harbors and dams gather in certain locations within the harbor. It is difficult to collect them with large vessels, so they are retrieved manually. This vessel is a prototype developed by the Practical Technology Research Institute as part of a commissioned project for marine technology development. Even when the ship is stationary, it creates a difference in water levels inside the vessel using the power of the propeller, drawing in and collecting floating debris, algae, and floating oil from the bow into the ship. The vessel is 5.5 meters long and 2.1 meters wide, and it collects floating debris and spilled oil in a basket inside the ship. The vessel can be loaded onto a truck, allowing for transportation between harbors.

Applications/Examples of results
It is effective in removing small floating debris in ports that cannot be handled by large ships. It performs surface cleaning operations at port unloading sites using a truck equipped with a crane. A boating license is required. Amid growing environmental concerns, it is also capable of recovering floating oil. In dams, ponds, and large lakes, floating debris tends to accumulate in specific areas. This vessel not only uses propulsion for suction while moving forward but can also collect debris while keeping the ship stationary in areas where debris gathers. It is also effective in ponds at golf courses and large park ponds.
