This is an important step as the<br \/>\nnon-profit organization prepares to tackle the world&#8217;s 1000 most polluting<br \/>\nrivers.<\/p>\n<p>Deploying Interceptors<br \/>\non a large scale is necessary to rapidly address the urgent problem of ocean<br \/>\nplastic pollution. The Ocean Cleanup is partnering with MHE-Demag, a Konecranes<br \/>\ncompany, because of their expertise and worldwide footprint. Laying the<br \/>\ngroundwork for global scaleup, Interceptors 005 and 006 are currently being<br \/>\nmanufactured simultaneously at MHE-Demag&#8217;s facility in Klang, Malaysia and are<br \/>\nexpected to be completed in May 2021. Moving forward, MHE-Demag will handle<br \/>\nInterceptor manufacturing, installation, and maintenance; local partners will<br \/>\noversee operations, and The Ocean Cleanup will continue to act as the<br \/>\ntechnology and best practices provider as well as lead business development for<br \/>\nupcoming Interceptor projects.<\/p>\n<p>Founder and CEO of The<br \/>\nOcean Cleanup, Boyan Slat remarked on this new partnership by saying, &#8220;At the<br \/>\nend of a very challenging year, I am happy to see series production begin for<br \/>\nthe Interceptor. This is a necessary step for us to tackle the global flow of<br \/>\nplastic pollution to our oceans at scale. I believe Konecranes is well-suited<br \/>\nfor the job and I look forward to seeing them build many more Interceptors in<br \/>\nthe coming years. I am thankful for their commitment to clean oceans&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Karl Tilkorn, Senior<br \/>\nVice President, Industrial Cranes and Products, Asia Pacific said, &#8220;Headquartered<br \/>\nin Singapore, for 48 years MHE-Demag has built our brand through outstanding<br \/>\nengineering capabilities with the best people in the industry. Our abilities to<br \/>\ndesign and manufacture engineered or customised solutions have won us many<br \/>\nlandmark projects in the region, and we are servicing these projects until<br \/>\ntoday. We are proud to collaborate with The Ocean Cleanup on the design and<br \/>\nmanufacturing of the Interceptor, in order to help the good cause of addressing<br \/>\nriver pollution across the globe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Konecranes is renowned<br \/>\nfor its market-leading technology and service in material handling and lifting<br \/>\nproducts. Its engineering and design expertise, along with its global service network,<br \/>\nwill enable the company to assemble and install Interceptors around the world.<br \/>\nThrough this global footprint, helped especially by the design and<br \/>\nmanufacturing strengths of MHE-Demag, Konecranes can service and maintain<br \/>\nInterceptors throughout their lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>The Ocean Cleanup&#8217;s<br \/>\nInterceptor was unveiled in late 2019 and there are currently three deployed in<br \/>\nKlang, Malaysia; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. A<br \/>\nfourth Interceptor, in Vietnam, has been delayed for deployment and is expected<br \/>\nto be launched early in 2021. Over the last year and a half, The Ocean Cleanup<br \/>\nhas used the insights from these pilot systems to understand and further<br \/>\ndevelop the technology for more efficient mass production. These upgrades<br \/>\ninclude changes to the conveyor, shuttle, dumpsters, and barge. Working<br \/>\ntogether with MHE-Demag, these changes have been incorporated into the 3rd<br \/>\ngeneration design, which is the blueprint for the Interceptors being<br \/>\nmanufactured in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n<p><b>DOWNLOADS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Supporting footage and<br \/>\nfurther details can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1SIsCiwRU57S6Ou_mQFyWr9ONfE3-AlSw?usp=sharing\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photos, illustrations,<br \/>\nvideos on The Ocean Cleanup can be found in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theoceancleanup.com\/media-gallery\"><span class=\"ListLabel2\">general media gallery<\/span><\/a><span class=\"ListLabel2\">.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/View\/57869#Contact\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The partnership will enable The Ocean Cleanup to work towards tackling the world\u2019s 1000 most polluting rivers SINGAPORE\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 10 December 2020 &#8211;\u00a0The Ocean Cleanup, the Dutch non-profit developing advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic, and Konecranes, a world-leading group of Lifting Businesses\u2122, announced today that MHE-Demag is the chosen partner to design, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10029"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10029\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
