split hopper barge

This 500 m³ Split Hopper Barge is designed and built by Qingzhou Yongli Mining and Dredging Machinery Co., Ltd. When used in inland waterways, ports, and coastal engineering projects, it loads silt, sand, gravel and other materials on site, transports them safely to designated areas, and discharges cargo quickly through its hydraulic split hull. It helps the company and its clients complete dredging and transportation tasks efficiently with high stability and low operation cost.

During daily offshore dredging and reclamation operations, crew members operate a split hopper barge at a designated coastal dumping ground. After loading dredged silt, sand, and aggregates from the dredging site, the barge sails to the approved disposal area under the supervision of captain and engineers. To complete safe and efficient discharge, hydraulic systems open the hull longitudinally along the deck hinges, splitting the barge into two symmetrical halves. Gravity quickly releases all cargo onto the seabed for land reclamation or channel deepening. Once empty, the hull closes tightly, and the barge returns to the dredging zone to repeat the cycle. This design ensures fast unloading, high stability, and wide use in marine construction, port development, and waterway maintenance projects worldwide.

Our company exported a 1000m³ split hopper barge to the South American market. The factory assigned specialized engineers to handle installation and training, and the barge has been operating in excellent condition.

Qingzhou Yongli Mining and Dredging Machinery Co.,ltd had designed and produced a 600 Tons transport barge for Africa customer. The transport barge is finished and ready for shipment.

An oil tanker, also known as a petroleum tanker, is a ship designed for the bulk transport of oil or its products. There are two basic types of oil tankers: crude tankers and product tankers.Crude tankers move large quantities of unrefined crude oil from its point of extraction to refineries.Product tankers, generally much smaller, are designed to move refined products from refineries to points near consuming markets.

A sand transport barge with a conveyor belt (often called a self-unloading sand barge or belt transport barge) is a specialized flat-bottomed vessel designed to carry and rapidly discharge heavy bulk materials like river sand, gravel, stone aggregates, and coal. Unlike traditional barges that require separate onshore cranes or excavators to unload, these vessels feature a built-in mechanized conveyor system to discharge cargo directly onto land.
