INNOVATION - The Bluefish SNAV platform is enabling technology for ZCCs of the future, with this particular variation designed to vacuum up plastic ocean waste, presently under development by British engineers in the UK, though collaboration is invited from any other country in the world. The design uses no diesel fuel to sweep the oceans 24/7 and 365 days a year if necessary - only possible with the unique energy harvesting system. The hullform is ideal for automatic release and recovery of AUVs, ROVs - especially useful for the release of mammals trapped in discarded fishing nets. This vessel pays for itself in fuel saved every ten years.
