Made of aluminum, it can be remotely operated by sight or by remote control, especially for operations in the open sea. Thanks to its zone scanning, it can change course if an object is detected, follow a defined path and respond to Colreg navigation.
The Autonomous Sea Cleaner is a new-generation maritime drone, designed to meet the major environmental challenges of our time. Made from robust, lightweight aluminum, it is designed to operate in demanding maritime environments.
Entirely modular, it can be fitted with a range of interchangeable modules to suit your needs: solid waste cleanup, oil collection, boom deployment, fire suppression, surveillance, and much more.
Versatile and innovative, this amphidrome drone navigates in both directions, and can be remotely operated by sight or by remote control, up to full autonomy. Thanks to its scanning and detection capabilities, it automatically changes course in the event of an obstacle, and complies with international navigation rules (Colreg).

A response to a global emergency
Every year, over 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. As for hydrocarbons, they continue to threaten biodiversity and coastal ecosystems. In the face of these environmental challenges, conventional solutions - often cumbersome, costly and difficult to deploy - are showing their limitations.
The Autonomous Sea Cleaner offers an innovative and agile solution. Compact and mobile, it can be quickly launched from a trailer, port crane or offshore platform. Its modularity makes it a versatile tool capable of adapting to a wide range of missions, from pollution clean-up to maritime safety.
A commitment to industry and the environment
Developed by EFINOR SEA CLEANER, a subsidiary of the EFINOR group, this drone is part of a clear vision to combine technological innovation and environmental responsibility. It illustrates EFINOR's determination to provide concrete solutions for the ecological transition and the protection of the sea.

Hydrocarbons: slick detection, suction via tank, transfer and storage (800 L)
> Safety interventions
Anti-pollution booms: deployment in coastal areas and targeted collection.
Fire: fire-fighting module for extinguishing ships and platforms
> Port surveillance and services
Sampling & surveillance: equipped with thermal cameras, radar, AIS and environmental sensors.
Ports and offshore: cleaning docks, removing nets and floating obstacles.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
