The concept ship is partly powered by converting the plastic at sea into fuel.
The leader of the project, Yvan Bourgnon has years of experience career racing sailing boats around the world's oceans. Bourgnon says that throughout his racing years, to his dismay, he saw a steady increase in encounters with floating fields of garbage in the ocean.This is what inspired him to start the SeaCleaners project and build a team to create the Manta, a 56-meter catamaran powered by a combination of advanced sail technology and electric motors.
The Manta is currently in the development and concept phase, though Bourgnon and his team aim to have a working prototype by 2024. At 56-meters long, the ship will be one of the largest to directly collect plastic waste from the sea. The Manta ship utilizes several renewable technologies, including solar cells and wind turbines.

As the catamaran sails through the water, a conveyor belt will collect waste, organize it, and then feed it into a burner. The plastic will melt, producing gas that will drive a turbine, generating electricity for the ship's motors.vessel system — though that ship stores the plastic for processing on land, and is designed to clean the world's rivers rather than its oceans.
