Manta - a star in a plastic waste collection project in the ocean
Designed based on the latest technologies in the field of self-powered clean energy, Manta has a length of 70m, width of 49m and height of 61m.
With the surface of the deck near the size of a football field, Manta - the oceanic waste collection vessel - has become the most prominent product on the first day of the International Exhibition. the 46th invention in Geneva, Switzerland, opened April 11.
Designed based on the latest technologies in the field of self-powered clean energy, Manta has a length of 70m, width of 49m and height of 61m. This ship is capable of maximizing its ability to move quickly to heavily polluted ocean areas, along the coast or at estuaries.
Manta ship.
According to Manta ship manager Marc Lebrun, the ship will be equipped with a hybrid propulsion system powered by wind, solar and Dyna-Rigg sails . Two wind power generators with a capacity of 500 kW / hour will activate the ship's engines and charge the battery system installed on board.
The most outstanding feature of Manta is that it is designed to be a flexible waste treatment system that includes functions such as recovery, sorting, concentration and storage of waste.
In addition, to enhance the ability to prevent waste from flowing into the oceans, the vessel will also be equipped with a laboratory to determine the geographical location, quantity and quality of waste. These data will then be shared with the international community.
According to Mr. Lebrun, when Manta is completed, it will be able to recover and process nearly 10 tons of plastic waste daily. 40 sailors will operate on the ship, of which 8 will be in charge of operating the ship and the rest will control the plastic waste treatment system on the deck. The cost of making this ship is about 30 million euros (37 million USD).
