Boats

Elastec/American Marine offers a range of boats for supporting oil spill and response operations plus collection of trash / garbage from the surface of water.

Trash Collection Boats

Our trash collection boats are offered in different sizes and models to suit different environments. The pontoon version is suitable for marinas, harbors and protected inland waters. These boats can be shipped in a standard container for assembly on site. Additional "pods" can be added for oil skimming or storage. The trash basket is lifted from the boat when full. The boat is driven by a small outboard motor and can be operated by one person.

The larger trash / rubbish collection boats have hydraulic powered scoops that lift the garbage into containers stored on the deck.

Fast Response Boats

Elastec Fast Response Boats are designed for minimum draft in open water conditions. Recognizing that the majority of spill response is close to shore these vessels are fitted with water jet drive for shallow water operations -they can typically achieve 40 to 50 knots. They can also be configured with a simple console arrangement or fully enclosed cabin for crew. These boats are designed for oil spill and commercial applications – features available include a heavy-duty davit and winch system, tow-frame for boom towing and bow door/ramp that allows loading and unloading from the shore.
