During winter 2024 we were involved in an exciting project in collaboration with Oslo municipality. Our mission involves cleaning up litter on the seabed of Inner Oslo Fjord. Through thorough and targeted efforts, we are contributing to ensuring cleaner and healthier marine environments for both the local community and future generations.
Our dedicated efforts are aimed at maintaining and preserving the natural ecosystem of the fjord while also contributing to creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly city.
"OceanFront has made an impressive effort during our cleanup campaign in the inner Oslofjord, where over 100,000 kilos of marine waste, including 1,001 car tires, were removed. Using their self-developed concept, Natural Seabed, they have effectively cleaned the seabed and contributed to protecting the fjord's ecosystem. OceanFront's technology and dedication have been crucial to the project's success, in collaboration with Oslo Municipality, Oslo Port, and the Retailers' Environment Fund. This project marks an important step toward a cleaner and more sustainable Oslofjord."
The Renere Havn Bergen project was conducted under the City's Environmental Agency in Bergen Municipality, in collaboration with the Norwegian Environment Agency.
The primary objective is to prevent the dissemination of environmental toxins from a polluted seabed and restore a healthy marine ecosystem. All significant debris has been removed from the seabed to prevent potential pollution, as the entire seabed will be covered with clean sand to isolate existing pollutants effectively.
The collaboration with OceanFront has been highly successful, marked by transparency and consistent communication throughout the project.
Additionally, OceanFront has developed a system for registering and logging debris, ensuring a comprehensive overview and knowledge repository upon the project's completion.
On behalf of Kystverket (the Norwegian Coastal Administration), OceanFront cleared abandoned aquaculture facilities (ghost fishing gear) in Vestland during the autumn of 2021.
We are highly satisfied with both the planning, execution, and outcome of the task.
As an environmental consultant for the client on the Renere Havn Bergen project, Cowi has overseen the debris clearance in Store Lungegårdsvann, where OceanFront serves as the executing contractor.
Throughout the project, OceanFront has demonstrated the development of equipment and technology that efficiently clears debris from the seabed. The equipment/technology is suitable for clearing both small and large objects, including wrecks.
OceanFront has exhibited willingness to collaborate and adaptability in the project, showing a clear commitment to continually enhance its solutions.
We hired OceanFront to clear the inner harbor in Kristiansund of old fenders (truck tires). The project was highly successful, and the catch was substantial.
Most of the fenders are slated for reuse.
Planning, execution, HSE, evaluation/learning, and reporting worked excellently.
Handelens Miljøfond (Norwegian Retailers' Environment Fund) is pleased to contribute to the important work of developing methods to clean the seabed.
We closely monitor OceanFront in their efforts to develop dedicated systems for gentle cleaning of the seabed.
OceanFront is the driving force behind the innovative Natural seabed concept, aiming to restore and preserve our oceans. Beyond Natural Seabed, OceanFront also offers a wide array of underwater services, including mapping and engineering solutions.
