AURELIA has announced its collaboration with The Ocean Cleanup to conduct a feasibility study for innovative propulsion systems.
This partnership aims to explore and develop technologies that will support The Ocean Cleanup’s mission to remove plastic pollution from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) while leveraging the latest in sustainable maritime propulsion technologies.
Working alongside The Ocean Cleanup is an incredible opportunity to contribute with our expertise in sustainable ship design to a mission that aligns so closely with our values. Together, we aim to redefine what’s possible for clean and efficient maritime operations.
… said Raffaele Frontera, CEO of AURELIA/
The feasibility study will focus on identifying and analyzing propulsion systems that align with The Ocean Cleanup’s operational needs while adhering to the highest standards of environmental sustainability.
The ultimate goal is to provide solutions that optimize performance and reduce the carbon footprint of vessels involved in this vital mission.
In order for us to achieve our mission, we are now seeking support from AURELIA to secure new vessels for our extraction operations in the GPGP, which will enable us to utilize greater deck space and achieve higher fuel efficiency.
… commented Mathijs Campman, Head of Offshore Project at The Ocean Cleanup.
