• Can collect floating waste, both liquid and solid, up to 0.4 m below the surface
• Collection range of 4 m, thanks to funneling apparatus installed at the front
• Micro-waste collected for scientific purposes from30 microns to 2 mm
• Suction up 2,5 to 4 m upstream of the vessel
• Solid waste storage capacity of 5 – 8 m3 (2,400 kg)in big bags
• Liquid waste storage capacity of 600 litres
