Concordia Maritime collaborates with the Swedish Institute for the Marine Environment to measure microplastics in the oceans
Together with the Swedish Institute for the Marine Environment, Concordia Maritime has initiated a preliminary study to determine the feasibility of gathering important information on the volume of micoplastics in the oceans. By installing a collection device on a tanker, water samples can be collected while it is under way for subsequent analysis by researchers. The aim is to draw conclusions as to the extent, distribution of microplastics and potential consequences for living organisms.In addition to the Swedish Institute for the Marine Environment, the preliminary study, which is
