There’s A Shark In Dubai Marina! But It’s Not What You Think

THERE’S A SHARK IN THE WATER….But no need to freak!

WasteShark is manufactured by RanMarine technology, it’s an autonomous vehicle capable of collecting 1,100lbs of plastic and floating rubbish and is being gradually deployed in Dubai waters to collect waste – genius!

The water shark can last 16 hours of clean up duty on one charge and might just be the answer to many city’s water waste problems.

Last year, Dubai Municipality announced the waste shark will eventually be used in Dubai Creek, Al Jaddaf Creek, Dubai Water Canal and Business Bay Canal.
