Fraserburgh Harbour invests in trash skimmer

Fraserburgh Harbour purchased a new electric trash skimmer, Corbie. It proved to be an instant hit with Harbour personnel as a highly effective and efficient means of keeping the marine environment free from surface debris. The trash skimmer allows the harbour staff to carry out clean up operations more effectively and efficiently, making a difficult job easy, freeing up personnel and allowing them to be more productive.

Importantly, the introduction of Corbie (named after one of the Houses at Fraserburgh Academy) is also a great opportunity for us to teach local school children of all ages about the effects of marine litter – and we had great fun working with the Academy when it came to proposing the vessel’s name!
