Dron on patrol SB100
Commitment to the cleanliness of our waters
As a key pillar of their 5-year Sustainability Plan launched in 2021, MB92 Barcelona are committed to improving the water quality in and around the Barceloneta facilities.
Following successful trials, an agreement was reached with a local company, GPASeabots, to use their SB100 Cleaner to collect and clear material waste and hydrocarbons directly from the water surface.
With a 30-litre capacity and capable of collecting an average of 10kg of waste in just 30 minutes, the SB100 supports other ongoing initiatives in place, such as a floating barrier to collect organic material following storm surges and a series of Seabins located around the facilities to actively collect waste from the water.
The drone can be used manually by a trained operator or autonomously, and is equipped with the latest GPS and collision avoidance technology. Therefore, it can navigate in and around moored yachts and is ideally suited to the specific requirements of the shipyard environment.
The shipyard’s intention is to use this system to not only extract material but also use the data collected to monitor, make upgrades together with GPASeabots and identify areas in which impact can continue to be reduced.
