While electric vehicles are seen as the answer to environmental concerns on land, electric boats are becoming an increasingly popular option at sea. But there’s also the problem of huge quantities of waste that are polluting the oceans. This is why The SeaCleaners thought of a solution that would address both issues.
The Manta is designed to collect ocean waste at an industrial level and help clean the waters, while also running on clean energy. With a 185 ft (56,5 m) length, 85 ft (26 m) width and 203 ft (62 m) height, this boat features a hybrid propulsion system that allows it to sail at controlled lower speeds, which are required for collecting waste.
