ECO SUEZ I
A Journey on Sustainable Waters
Enhancing the Suez Canal's operations
Antipollution Egypt aims to enhance the Suez Canal’s operations by providing innovative Port Reception Facilities (PRF) for solid and liquid waste collection from vessels. This initiative promotes a circular economy, focusing on waste valorization to deliver social, economic, and environmental benefits. A key highlight is the introduction of ECO SUEZ I, the first vessel dedicated to sustainable PRF, which will support the project’s ZERO WASTE strategy and maintain a ZERO-CARBON footprint from day one.
