Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 16, 2024 – Bridgemans Services Group (Bridgemans), the world’s premier provider of floatels and related marine services, has provided the use of their Kitimat RoRo, Laydown and Storage Facility and equipment to support the Marine Debris Removal Initiative (MDRI) and its drive to remove waste from the marine environment.
Under the MDRI, local Indigenous nations and members of the Small Ship Tourism Operators (SSTOA) cleaned up 32.5 tonnes of debris from B.C.’s coastline including plastic fishing gear, nets, rope, polystyrene floats, and plastic bottles. The SSTOA and MDRI used Bridgemans’ RoRo, Laydown and Storage Facility to offload and move this debris from three vessels to trucks destined for recycling centres in the Province.
