Dubai Municipality introduces cutting-edge smart

and remotely operated marine scraper to combat

water pollution

By Middle East News 247 May 13, 2024

Dubai Municipality has taken another step forward in its commitment to environmental sustainability with the

unveiling of its latest innovation, the smart marine scraper, designed to collect floating waste in creek and
water canals across the Emirate of Dubai. Developed locally by Emirati talents in collaboration with Al
Khattal Boat Factory, this state-of-the-art scraper represents a significant advancement in the municipality’s

commitment to environmental sustainability.

The smart marine scraper is operated remotely and can be controlled over an unlimited range, with real-time

monitoring facilitated through satellite technology. It features a sophisticated control system that leverages
5G networks to execute precise marine maneuvers, ensuring efficient waste collection.

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 kilograms of floating marine
waste.
