Ocean Cleanup – Phase 1 & 2 prototype installation by Boskalis

The first phase (installation of anchors and mooring buoys) and second phase (installation of floating barrier) of the prototype installation for the Ocean Cleanup - June 2016. Boskalis transported and installed The Ocean Cleanup’s North Sea prototype, the first ocean cleanup system ever tested at sea, 23 km (12 NM) off the Dutch coast. The goal of the test is to see how the floating barrier design is able to cope in extreme weather at sea during a 12 month period.
