Model: KDYT 100 – Aluminum Sea Cleaning & Self unloading Boat

KDYT 100 is an aluminum catamaran-type sea cleaning vessel developed by EPS Marine. Built for high-traffic waters around the world, this trash boat doubles as an effective sea surface cleaning boat and garbage collection vessel. It collects solid marine litter — plastic waste, bottles, packaging, jellyfish and algae — from the water surface and transfers it to a waiting barge or shore discharge point.

Depending on the market and the terminology used, KDYT 100 is also referred to as a trash boat, trash vessel, trash skimmer, sea cleaning vessel, sea clean-up vessel, sea cleaning boat, sea clean-up boat, sea cleaning machine, garbage collection boat, garbage collection vessel, ocean cleaning vessel, or ocean clean-up vessel.

KDYT 100 is an aluminum-hull trash boat manufactured by EPS Marine (Türkiye), built around a three-stage conveyor system that separates collection from discharge — two sweeping arms feed a front conveyor, a second belt carries litter to the stern, and a discharge conveyor transfers it directly to a barge or shore point. Twin main engines and a lightweight aluminum hull give it higher speed and easier maneuvering than EPS Marine’s GRP models, making it suited for fast collection-discharge cycles in high-pollution, high-traffic waters.

Collection and Discharge System: Built for Rapid Response

What sets KDYT 100 apart from other EPS Marine models is its three-stage conveyor system, which separates collection from discharge. Two sweeping arms at the bow guide surface litter toward the boat, where the front conveyor lifts it onto the deck. A second deck conveyor carries the litter to the stern, where a discharge conveyor transfers it directly to a waiting barge or shore discharge point. This three-stage design lets KDYT 100 collect and discharge quickly — making it especially effective in high-pollution areas.

Aluminum Hull Advantages

Unlike EPS Marine’s steel-hulled models, KDYT 100 is built from aluminum. This choice delivers three direct benefits: easier maintenance, lower weight, and correspondingly lower engine power requirements. A lighter hull achieves the same performance with less fuel and a smaller engine — lowering operating costs while improving efficiency.

Twin Main Engines: Speed and Maneuvering Advantage

KDYT 100 is fitted with two separate main engines. Compared with single-engine models, this configuration delivers both higher speed and more precise maneuvering in ports, tight spaces, and high-traffic waters.

Living Quarters and Comfort

KDYT 100 provides operators with a sink and WC in the living quarters, plus hot/cold air conditioning for comfortable operation in any weather.

Main Specifications

Advanced Features

• Engine power capable of reaching 10 knots.
• Easier maneuvering with twin main engines.
• Increased speed and capacity.
• Minimum draft enables operation in shallow waters.

Environmentally Friendly Design: Solar Panel Support

Solar panels mounted on the operator cabin supply part of the boat’s electrical needs from renewable energy, helping charge the batteries. This makes KDYT 100 a suitable choice for operations aiming to reduce environmental impact.

Sea Hunter Pro or KDYT 100?

The key difference between Sea Hunter Pro and KDYT 100 is hull material and discharge method: Sea Hunter Pro offers a GRP platform with enclosed-cabin comfort, while KDYT 100’s aluminum hull, twin main engines and self-discharging conveyor system focus on fast collection-discharge cycles in high-pollution moments. If you need a higher-capacity solution, see our KDYT 200 page.

Use Cases

KDYT 100 is well suited to the following scenarios:

• High-traffic straits and waterways (such as the Bosphorus)
• Port entrances and approach channels
• Marinas
• Coastal areas requiring regular sea cleaning
• High-pollution zones requiring fast collection-discharge cycles
