PURPOSE:To enable a barge to be moved automatically and smoothly along a dredger by providing a connecting means for connecting the optional place of a chain which is moved along the side of said dredger to the mooring bit of said barge which is brought alongside the broadside of said dredger. CONSTITUTION:When sediment is transferred from a dredger 1 to a barge 4, one end of a mooring cable 7 the other end of which is fixed to the optional place of a chain 11 is hooked to the mooring bit 20 of the barge 4, to connect the chain 11 to the mooring bit 20 by means of the mooring cable 7. This connection by means of the mooring cable 7 is carried out in two places between guides 17a and 17b, and guides 17b and 17c provided on the broadside 1a of the dredger 1. And, a driving means 8 is operated in this condition moving the chain 11 in the arrow direction to move the barge 4 forward along the broadside 1a of the dredger 1 by means of the mooring cables 7, thereby, uniformly loading sediment which is discharged out of the dredger 1 to the barge 4 through a belt conveyor 18, into a sediment housing tank 4a.
