500 m3 Split Hopper Barge

Split Hopper Barge – Product Description

A Split Hopper Barge/Transport Barge is a heavy-duty marine vessel specially designed for dredging, sediment transportation, sea reclamation, and waterway maintenance. It features a hydraulically operated split hull that opens longitudinally at the bottom for quick, complete discharge of sand, silt, mud, and dredged materials.

With high structural strength, good stability, and large loading capacity, this barge operates efficiently in coastal, port, and offshore construction areas. Its reliable hydraulic system ensures safe opening and closing, while the self-discharging design greatly improves operational efficiency.

Widely used in port expansion, channel deepening, land reclamation, and marine engineering projects, our Split Hopper Barge combines durable construction, low maintenance, and high performance to meet various marine transportation and dredging demands.
This sand barge is a robust, self-discharging marine vessel engineered for efficient transportation and disposal of dredged materials, sand, silt, gravel, and construction aggregates. Featuring a hydraulically controlled longitudinal split hull, it delivers fast, clean, and complete discharge with minimal residue. Built with high-strength steel and reliable components, it is suitable for coastal ports, inland waterways, reclamation sites, and dredging projects.
