In Geneva, the Mobula 8.2 is unveiled before its departure for Malaysia
In the Geneva harbour, our collection catamaran met the Swiss public and media. The first stop of an adventure that continues today in Southeast Asia.

On 25.04.2024, The SeaCleaners presented the Mobula 8.2 in front of Eaux Vives beach in Geneva. For several days, journalists and visitors were able to discover the vessel and understand how this solution operates in areas where floating waste accumulates.
A boat designed for coastal areas
Designed with the Breton shipyard EFINOR Sea Cleaner, this aluminium catamaran measures approximately 27 feet long by 10 feet wide. It is intended for ports, estuaries, rivers, and coastal areas, where targeted collection can prevent waste dispersion.
Encouraging initial media response
RTS, Blick, Swissinfo, Léman Bleu, ArcInfo, Corriere del Ticino, Radio Lac, and other media outlets covered the presentation. In total, 13 media mentions were recorded in just a few days, giving great visibility to our technological approach and our future Malaysian programme.

From presentation to results
After its time on Lake Geneva, the Mobula 8.2 reached Kota Kinabalu, where it carried out its first collection in 04/2025. By the end of 09/2026, the crew had removed 9,912 lbs of waste from the bay. A great illustration of the transition from innovation to action.
