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)
