Pollution control vessel

An anti-pollution ship for the collection of

• waste, such as petroleum, oil, rubbish, algae or suchlike, the ship comprising:
• two parallel and longitudinal hulls, wherebetween is defined a space or tunnel configured so as to allow water freely flowing wherethrough,
• at least one fuel tank for servicing a main engine, and
• a control bridge where the navigation and direction controls of the ship are located,
• the ship further comprising:
• a waste collection tray disposed in the tunnel between the two hulls of the ship, and adapted to collect and filter waste present on the surface of the water,
• at least one longitudinal screw conveyor connected to the collection tray, for causing vacuum currents inside the tunnel, and for lifting at least part of the waste to a collector disposed on the rear part of the collection tray, the screw leaning on the collector,
• a decantation chamber disposed below the collector, and communicated with the collection tray, for collecting, from the tray, at least part of remaining waste not collected by the longitudinal screw conveyor,
• at least one vacuum pump connected to the collector, adapted to transport the waste housed in the decantation chamber by lifting the waste up to a final position inside the collector, and
• valves, connected to the collector, for allowing the waste exit wherethrough for a final unloading of the waste in collection bags, the bags being intended to be closed and numbered for their subsequent tossing into the water so as to be picked up by an auxiliary boat.
