Ashley Garyee Kwong10 million tons of trash enter the sea every year. Who solves this increasing problem? This is By far, one of the most pressing issue we face today. Another one is the increasing number of elderly people looking for a safe surrounding that on one hand meets their needs and on the other hand includes active lifestyle opportunities. To prepare for the future, we believe that holistic solutions are necessary to solve many problems in one. This is why we invented the Vac Marine. That is a cruise ship that is growing on the go; collecting marine trash to build and restore itself! Transporting seniors with limited mobility all over the world, cleaning our oceans in the meanwhile.The demand and opportunities for the Vac Marine seem endless: Mankind does not only get more and more older but also produces more and more trash which often ends up in the ocean.We promise to take care of that and make our oceans clean again while offering adventure for elderly people.Our team consists of six interdisciplinary students with a diverse cultural background who have the right skillset to turn the Vac Marine into a successful project. We ask you for your input about what you consider to be important so we can reach out mission: Clean oceans and content elderly people.
