Completing its range of maritime pollution control tools, Ekkopol is developing its activity on the Mediterranean, Atlantic and English coasts, as well as on rivers and inland waterways.
"We are very happy to provide a powerful tool to a company that shares the same values as us on the protection of the oceans. We are constantly improving our boats and this WCL83 brings together the best of the best in terms of pollution control," says Benjamin Lerondeau, operational director of the EFINOR shipyard. "
"There is a general awareness of the need to reduce the use of plastics which are everywhere on our beaches and coastline. Collecting floating waste is becoming a matter of course for many communities. This WCL83 boat has unique performances and it is endowed with an ideal operational flexibility to serve several sites, several ports at the same time" according to Eric Dupont, director of the company Ekkopol.

On June 8, World Ocean Day, EFINOR SEA CLEANER reaffirms its concrete commitment to protecting the oceans, collecting waste at sea, and fighting plastic pollution. In the face of this environmental emergency, our teams are redoubling their efforts to provide sustainable solutions for a responsible maritime future.
