An embodiment of an exhaust handling system for a marine vessel includes a cap connected to a top end portion of an exhaust stack of the marine vessel to form an enclosure at least partially surrounding an outlet of an exhaust pipe extending through the exhaust stack. In addition, the exhaust handling system includes a collection pipe in fluid communication with the cap such that the collection pipe is to receive exhaust from the enclosure, and a coupling connected to the collection pipe that is to connect to an exhaust cleaning assembly. The exhaust cleaning system includes a tank to receive the exhaust. The cap at least partially defines a first flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the atmosphere. The collection pipe at least partially defines a second flow path for the exhaust that extends from the enclosure to the coupling via the collection pipe.

Exhaust handling systems for marine vessels and related methods

An embodiment of an exhaust collection system for collecting exhaust from a marine vessel includes an exhaust cleaning assembly including a tank. In addition, the exhaust collection system includes a vent hood in fluid communication with the tank of the exhaust cleaning assembly. The vent hood includes a frame including one or more extendable frame members, and an outer covering that covers the frame to define an enclosure with an opening configured to receive an exhaust stack of the marine vessel therethrough, the one or more extendable frame members to extend and retract to adjust a size of the opening.
