APEX – Combating Pollution in Explosive Atmospheres

Summary:

The Consortium APEX aims with this project to create the first vessel worldwide to combat pollution, able to provide concrete answers to problems long existing in its segment.

Sized to operate efficiently and completely safe in combating pollution in various scenarios, It will be the result of a thorough work at the level of various subsystems that comprise it.

It should be noted, like this, the structure of the vessel, which result from a development project of new advanced composite materials; the development of tools to reduce vibration and noise; the general arrangement of the vessel, which benefit from a holistic view; creating suitable environments to work to be performed by the crew, without jeopardizing their health by exposure to excessive levels of these physical agents, but also with the latest technology incorporating guaranteeing
