THE MEDIA VOICE OF THE GLOBAL MARINA INDUSTRY

Waste clearance on the seabed

Marina Port de Mallorca in Spain has become the first marina to test out Turbino, a new underwater vacuum system developed by Recyclamer.

The Recyclamer Association 11m (36ft) vessel ‘Red Snapper’ moored up in the marina so as to collect water samples at various points in the port of Palma. The collected samples passed through the Geneseas robot, which detects floating waste, and tests were then carried out with Turbino, a system that trawls the seabed vacuuming up plastics.
The marina has been partnering with the initiative since May 2023 and set aside a berth as an operational base. Along with its sister facility Marina Ibiza (both part of the IPM-IMG Group), Marina Port de Mallorca purchased a Geneseas robot and has been using it to collect waste and data.
The marina robot crosses the water surface collecting waste, microplastics and hydrocarbons. It has a real-time control and monitoring system for water quality, monitoring parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity and dissolved oxygen etc.
Using Turbino in tandem to work on the actual seabed should significantly reduce levels of waste in the water, most specifically plastics.
