Unveiling at the International Nautic Boat Show is the all-electric Waste Cleaner 66 from EFINOR Sea Cleaner. The Waste Cleaner tackles pollution in inland waterways, harbours and coastal waters, including jetties and tight corners where access is difficult. This unique, all-electric vessel is powered by a Torqeedo 25kW Deep Blue motor with a 40 kWh Deep Blue battery. Providing up to eight hours of endurance at a cleaning speed of two knots.
The six-metre (20-ft) aluminium boat, built at EFINOR’s shipyard in Paimpol, uses patented technology to retrieve up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) of solid waste and 1,000L (263 gal) of liquid waste, including hydrocarbons like oil or fuel spills. The patented clean-up system automatically separates water and hydrocarbons to eliminate emulsification.
The versatile platform can conduct suction at halt or when moving, either forward or in reverse. It can be trailered for road transport and has a single point of lifting for easy launching and recovery.
