Abstract
An anti-sedimentation system can implement a method in which a pump pumps seawater to a discharge nozzle positioned under the seawater and facing an under keel clearance of a marine vessel docked at a dock. Sediments are flowed away from the under keel clearance by the discharge nozzle discharging the seawater toward the under keel clearance.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- pumping, by a pump, seawater to a discharge nozzle positioned under the seawater and facing an under keel clearance of a marine vessel docked at a dock;
- and
- flowing sediments away from the under keel clearance by discharging, by the discharge nozzle, the seawater toward the under keel clearance.
A marine vessel anti-sedimentation system comprising:
- a pump configured to flow seawater;
- an intake member comprising an inlet disposed under seawater and an outlet fluidically coupled to the pump, the pump configured to draw seawater through the intake member;
- an outlet member comprising an inlet fluidically coupled to the pump and an outlet configured to be positioned facing an under keel clearance of a marine vessel docked at a dock, the pump configured to flow the seawater drawn through the intake member through the outlet member;
- and
- a discharge nozzle fluidically coupled to the outlet of the outlet member, the discharge nozzle configured to face the under keel clearance and to discharge the seawater flowed through the outlet member in the under keel clearance of the marine vessel.
