About RanMarine
RanMarine develops autonomous surface vessels for collecting floating pollution and monitoring water quality. WasteShark skims plastic, vegetation and other debris into an onboard basket while carrying optional probes for temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and related environmental measurements.
RanMarine Connect plans missions, monitors vehicle health and maps GPS-tagged sensor readings. CyanoShark targets cyanobacteria and biomass management, while the larger MegaShark extends collection capacity for heavier work. The systems operate in marinas, canals, ports and industrial water sites, combining remote supervision with repeatable routes and impact reporting.

The two WasteSharks, Ebb and Flow, joined the Toronto Harbour trash-trapping network. The aquadrones collect floating debris and can run manually or autonomously along prescribed routes. The deployment places PortsToronto's technology into unmanned aircraft, air mobility or counter-drone operations beyond a lab-only setting.
