KDYT 100 Sea Cleaning & Self Unloading Boat
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.

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
FAQ
Q1: What is the KDYT 100 trash boat used for?
KDYT 100 collects solid marine litter — plastic waste, bottles, packaging and other floating debris — from the sea surface and transfers it to a waiting barge or shore discharge point.
Q2: What sets KDYT 100 apart from other EPS Marine boats?
Its aluminum hull, twin main engines, and three-stage collection-discharge conveyor system are optimized for fast response in high-pollution areas.
Q3: Where is KDYT 100 used?
It is used in high-traffic waterways such as the Bosphorus, as well as port entrances and marinas.
Q4: What is KDYT 100’s maximum speed?
KDYT 100 can reach speeds of up to 10 knots.
Q5: Does KDYT 100 use renewable energy?
Yes. Solar panels mounted on the operator cabin help charge the batteries, supplying part of the boat’s electrical needs.
