The Ocean Cleanup is an international non-profit project with the mission of ridding the world’s oceans of plastic, and since 2018, different technologies have been tested with the support of Maersk Supply Service’s and A.P. Moller – Maersk’s logistics and marine activities
Maersk Supply Service, A.P. Moller – Maersk and The Ocean Cleanup have agreed to extend their collaboration to complete the validation of the system. Maersk Supply Service and A.P.

At the same time, the A.P. Moller Foundation will provide a one-time grant to The Ocean Cleanup.
“The Ocean Cleanup holds an important mission to remove plastics from the oceans, one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. Today plastic pollution impacts hundreds of marine species and it contaminates the marine food chain with toxic pollutants. With this in mind, Maersk Supply Service, A.P. Moller - Maersk and the A.P. Moller Foundation have decided to extend support to The Ocean Cleanup to finalise and validate their technology and system.”
