C-Job partners with The Ocean Cleanup project
C-Job Naval Architects is proud to announce its partnership with The Ocean Cleanup a not-for-profit that is dedicated towards ridding the world’s oceans of plastic.
The company will assist The Ocean Cleanup’s activities with engineering capacity and knowledge sharing.
“Like The Ocean Cleanup, we are a dynamic company that shares the vision – indeed, the responsibility – to contribute to a cleaner and healthier marine environment,” said Basjan Faber, managing director, C-Job.
Sustainability
Designing ships that not only meet the functional specifications of its clients, but are also as environmentally friendly and sustainable, are at the core of C-Job’s mission.
The Ocean Cleanup has developed a passive cleaning system that moves with ocean currents. It consists of a floater with a solid screen underneath, concentrating plastic debris, making it easy to extract and bring back to shore for recycling.
As well as launching several expeditions to map the degree of plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean, The Ocean Cleanup has also performed scale model tests in the North Sea.
Deployment of the first cleanup system in the Pacific Ocean is scheduled to take place in the third quarter of 2018.
“Our engineering team is ready to support The Ocean Cleanup’s own project requirements by transferring their knowledge of sustainable and technically practical solutions,” said Mr Faber.
