Moreover, the scraper stands out for its secondary systems, which include an intelligent

marine survey system that identifies waste sites and starts the removal process. It also

features an interactive external environment system, which enhances marine safety by

automatically preventing collisions. The scraper offers enhanced productivity, allowing it

to effectively collect and transfer 1,000 kilogrammes of floating marine waste.

Dubai Municipality has dedicated all its efforts, resources, and capabilities towards

offering integrated and efficient municipal services on a daily basis throughout the year.

These efforts and initiatives undertaken by the Municipality are aimed at curbing marine

pollution caused by floating waste, thereby safeguarding Dubai's marine and natural

environments.

Furthermore, Dubai Municipality has assigned a dedicated team to oversee the

cleanliness of water canals and creeks spanning over 35 kilometres (19 nautical miles).

This team comprises 12 marine captains, 25 workers and sailors, and 12 marine vehicles.

The team is committed to conducting daily cleaning tasks according to the work plan.

They will also carry out field follow-ups around the clock. (ANI/WAM)
