The DPOL® marine drone continues its global journey and its latest chapter is unfolding in the Southern Hemisphere.
Coral Sea Marina is trialling a DPOL®
From Australia to the Pacific, ports and marinas are embracing this innovative solution to tackle floating marine debris. One standout example is the Coral Sea Marina in Queensland, Australia, which recently began trialing a DPOL unit as part of its sustainability strategy.
“We are so pleased to be trialling a DPOL machine in the marina thanks to our friends at Marine Structures! As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and protecting our marine environment, the DPOL machine is working hard to collect any floating marine debris found in the Marina!” — Coral Sea Marina, October 2025
This initiative is made possible through the efforts of our partner Marine Structures, who are leading the charge in deploying DPOL units across Australia. Their commitment to cleaner oceans and smarter infrastructure is helping marinas like Coral Sea take meaningful steps toward environmental stewardship.
🚀 Why Try the DPOL?
The DPOL is designed to operate in natural accumulation zones, where floating waste tends to gather. It creates a powerful suction current that draws debris into its collection net, which port agents can easily empty. Operating 24/7 with minimal maintenance, just a cleaning every 15 days, the DPOL is a low-effort, high-impact solution for waterfront waste management.
But the best way to understand its effectiveness? Try it yourself.
📦 Rent a Refurbished DPOL, Starting from One Month
To make testing easier and more accessible, we now offer refurbished DPOL units for short-term rental, starting from just one month. This allows marinas and port authorities to evaluate the device in real-world conditions before committing to a full deployment.
These second-hand units are fully functional and reliable, offering the same performance as new models. Renting also supports a circular economy by giving these robust machines a second life and reducing their environmental footprint.
🌐 DPOL Impakt Web App: Control from Anywhere
Every DPOL unit comes with access to the DPOL Impakt web app, which is accessible from any internet-connected device via a standard web browser. This allows operators to monitor performance, track waste collection, and manage operations remotely.
