PortsToronto launches Canadian WasteShark pilot with RanMarine
PortsToronto launched a pilot program deploying two RanMarine WasteShark aquadrones in Toronto Harbour.
Evidence notes
- 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.
