French Company ECOCEANE Has Oil Spill Solution

Published Jan 14, 2011 2:15 PM by The Maritime Executive

ECOCEANE is a Company created in 2003 working exclusively in the area of research, development and construction of ships designed for the collection of floating hydrocarbons and solid waste. The Company has its own design office and shipyard specialized in aluminum construction.

Since 2007, Ecoceane has sold 50 Cataglop vessels around the world. The Catamar was unveiled in April 2009 by its sponsor Maud Fontenoy, Vice-President of "Conservatoire du Littoral", in the presence of a delegation from the Elysée and the Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and the Sea.

As soon as motor is started, the ECOCEANE boats start filtering the water that passes through the hull: macro waste is caught in a basket and the hydrocarbons are channeled into a separator where they are stored floating. The technology has been patented.

ECOCEANE boasts several references in France and abroad (Australia, Uruguay, Madeira, Angola, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Montenegro, and Turkey). More than 50 boats have already been sold since the company was set up.
