The plans for an antipollution ship were presented by Chantiers France-Dunkerque. Such ships, with or without additional barriers, are under development with the purpose of extending their speed and their range of utilization at sea toward higher waves and worse sea conditions. The Sydem project uses a shape of the hull which converges the pollutant layer toward the collection equipment near the stern. This convergence must be maintained even under less than ideal conditions. The collector system consists of a special trap which retains the pollutant oil; this system has already been model tested. The ship is self-supporting, limited only by its storage capacity for the recovered oil. The next step is the construction of a model prototype.
