The invention relates to a sheet (1) to be placed in relation to a split barge (100) for encapsulating a bulk of material (101) to be dumped when the bulk of material is released, the sheet comprising a material containing portion (4) and at least one material free portion (3) extending from at least two opposed sides of the material containing portion, wherein that the immersed sheet encapsulating the bulk of material comprises an encapsulated body (20) encapsulated by the material containing (4) portion and a self-closing portion (22) being at least a part of the material free portion (3) both extending from an assembly point (21), wherein a closing length of the self-closing portion (22) correspond to at least 5% of the circumventing length of the encapsulated body (20), the circumventing length extending from the assembly point (21) to the assembly point (21). The invention further relates to a method of encapsulating a bulk of material by means of a sheet.
A sheet being placeable in relation to a split barge and configured for encapsulating a bulk of material to be dumped when the bulk of material is released, the sheet comprising a material containing portion and at least one material free portion extending from at least two opposed sides of the material containing portion, wherein the sheet encapsulates the bulk of material and comprises an encapsulated body encapsulated by the material containing portion and a self-closing portion being at least a part of the material free portion both extending from an assembly point, wherein a closing length of the self-closing portion correspond to at least 5% of the circumventing length of the encapsulated body, the circumventing length extending from the assembly point to the assembly point.
