Dubai's New Smart Marine Scraper Aims To Combat

Water Pollution

By OneArabia

Dubai Municipality has recently introduced a significant innovation in its ongoing efforts to
enhance environmental sustainability within the Emirate of Dubai. The launch of a smart
marine scraper, developed by local Emirati talents in partnership with Al Khattal Boat
Factory, marks a notable step forward in the municipality's commitment to maintaining the
cleanliness and ecological balance of its waterways. This advanced marine scraper is
designed to efficiently collect floating waste from creeks and water canals, showcasing
Dubai's proactive approach to environmental conservation.

The smart marine scraper operates with cutting-edge technology, including remote control
capabilities over an unlimited range and real-time monitoring through satellite technology.
Its operation is bolstered by the use of 5G networks, allowing for precise maneuvers in
marine environments. The scraper is not only adept at identifying and collecting waste but
also features secondary systems like an intelligent marine survey system for waste site
identification and an interactive external environment system to prevent collisions,
enhancing marine safety.

One of the standout features of this innovative tool is its capacity to collect and transfer up
to 1,000 kilogrammes of floating marine waste, significantly boosting productivity in waste
