DYT 500 Multi-Purpose Sea Cleaning Vessel
EPS Marine’s DYT 500 is an integrated solution for port and terminal operators, combining oil spill response vessel (OSRV) capability and surface waste collection in the same catamaran hull. Built with a 5083 marine-grade aluminum hull and Bureau Veritas (BV) certification, the vessel can run both emergency response and routine cleaning tasks from a single platform.
The vessel’s BV Class Notation carries the special service designation ‘Garbage & Oil Spill Collection’ — meaning it is classed to perform both waste collection and oil spill response, not just one or the other. It is optimized for operation in sheltered waters.
Depending on the market and the terminology used, DYT 500 is also referred to as a trash boat, OSRV, sea cleaning vessel, sea cleaning boat, garbage collection boat, garbage collection vessel, multi-purpose vessel, or pollution control vessel.
Multi Functions, One Boat
Most sea cleaning vessels focus on a single task: either surface waste collection or oil spill response. With DYT 500, EPS Marine combines both needs on the same platform:
DYT 500 Multi-Purpose Sea Cleaning Vessel
Oil Spill Response System
The vessel is equipped to serve as a first responder at ports and terminal sites:
- Inflatable boom (TPU material, ASTM-Z connectors, 25-meter sections, 200 meters total)
- Hydraulic boom reel
- Lobe-pump high-capacity oil skimmer unit
- Towable neoprene collection bladder, 25 m³ capacity
- Dedicated onboard hydraulic power source for oil response equipment
Surface Waste Collection System
For routine sea surface cleaning, the vessel has a hydraulically driven waste collection arrangement:
- Twin hydraulic sweeping arms, port and starboard
- Twin main conveyor belt system, modular design
- Integrated design that feeds waste directly into the collection area
Shared Infrastructure
Equipment shared by both functions:
- Fassi Marine hydraulic crane (7.80 m boom length, 435 kg.m lifting capacity)
- Twin Volvo Penta D7 marine diesel main engines (265 HP x 2)
- Twin independent Sole generator sets
- Clean deck area, available for other operations
Who Is It For?
DYT 500 is designed especially for:
- Port operators — with both routine cleaning and emergency response obligations
- Oil terminals — facilities required by regulators to maintain first-response capability
- Environmental and coastal protection agencies — public bodies seeking dual capability on a limited budget
- Municipalities and coastal management authorities — regions with seasonal waste loads and occasional pollution risk.

EPS Marine’s DYT 500 is a sea cleaning vessel that combines OSRV (oil spill response vessel) and surface waste collection vessel functions on a single catamaran hull. This multi-purpose sea cleaning vessel is built for port cleaning, terminal security and coastal pollution response. Oil spill response equipment (inflatable boom, oil skimmer, towable collection tank) and a surface waste collection system (hydraulic sweeping arms, twin conveyor belts) are both fitted on the same vessel. With its aluminum 5083 hull and BV certification, this sea cleaning boat is offered alongside EPS Marine’s Sea Hunter, Sea Hunter Pro, KDYT 100, KDYT 200, DYT 300 and DYT 400 models.
FAQ
Q1: What two functions does DYT 500 combine?
The vessel combines an oil spill response system (inflatable boom, skimmer, towable collection tank) with a surface waste collection system (hydraulic sweeping arms and twin conveyor belts) on the same catamaran hull. This lets a single boat handle both emergency pollution response and routine sea surface cleaning.
Q2: What certification does the vessel hold?
The vessel holds BV (Bureau Veritas) COI (Certificate of Inspection) certification. Its class notation is I + HULL . MACH, Special Service – Garbage & Oil Spill Collection, Sheltered Area.
Q3: What is the oil spill response capacity?
The vessel carries 200 meters of inflatable TPU boom (in 25-meter sections), a lobe-pump oil skimmer unit, and a 25 m³ towable neoprene collection tank. The boom can be deployed and recovered quickly using a hydraulically driven reel.
Q4: What is the vessel’s main engine and power system?
The vessel is driven by two 265 HP Volvo Penta D7 marine diesel engines. Electrical power is supplied by two 13.9 kVA Sole generators. All hydraulic systems (crane, sweeping arms, conveyor belts) run on independent hydraulic power packs.
Q5: What facilities is this vessel suited for?
DYT 500 is suited for port operators, oil terminals, environmental protection agencies and coastal management authorities — particularly organizations that need both routine cleaning and regulator-mandated emergency response capability within a single budget.
