Clearwater

Clearwater seen here working in the Port of Tyne (North East England) 2008. Photographed from North Shields Ferry Landing.

Operated by the Port of Tyne Authority,the 15m by 6m Clearwater is fitted with a large crane and is used to remove debris such as cars and gas bottles from the river. The steel boat will operate alongside a small twin-hulled aluminium boat called the SITA Eater that is designed specifically to catch the flotsam and jetsam in a removable collection pod which is then emptied by the Clearwater.
