Description
Marservis was established in 1995., as provider of services in nautical tourism, primarily in the field of electric and electronic systems and appliances. The portfolio gradually evolved into more complex systems, including engines, resulting in close cooperation with renown international brands. Today, Marservis produces a broad range of leisure and work boats, with a variety of materials, propulsion, and equipment. As the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic pollution are becoming increasingly obvious, Marservis sees providing solutions for removal of marine litter both as a business opportunity and a social responsibility.
The Project addresses the need for innovative and eco-friendly solutions for removal of marine litter, applicable in a variety of working environments, as well as the need of the Project Promoter to increase its competitiveness and market share. The Project Promoter and the Partners intend to respond to this need by developing an innovative technical solution for removal of marine litter (AQUAPOD+) from enclosed sea basins. The original prototype is at level TRL 5-6, with the core components/functionalities (set of pumps and filters mounted on a basic construction) being tested as litter collection system in the initial phase of the project.
Clean Sea Solutions (CSS), Norwegian partner and Beneficiary is a start-up company with solutions that address the problem around maritime littering. The solutions build around structures located in the sea and captures and stores liquid items.
