“In the Ocean Cleanup report several options have been
proposed for the boom, the skirts, the station keeping
system, and the installation procedures. Through a
series of preliminary feasibility assessments, mainly
through simplified time domain dynamic models, the fundamental
challenges of this novel concept have been individuated.
A series of conceptual/preliminary technical
solutions for these challenges are proposed, and most
importantly the areas to be further investigated have
been individuated. As a result, a first methodology for the
design and analysis has been established.
