Suzuki – reducing ocean plastic waste

Suzuki – reducing ocean plastic waste

Suzuki and OceanR are working together on an innovative campaign to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans.  From 16th February 2023 to 31st March 2023 – for every Suzuki outboard engine sold – to:

  • Remove 1kg of plastic waste from the oceans
  • Offer a free custom-designed hoodie – made from organic cotton and the equivalent recycled waste of 20x plastic bottles

This initiative is the latest step in Suzuki’s global ‘Clean Ocean Project’ – which began in 2010 as work to clean beaches but has widened to  include technological innovations such as the micro-plastics collection device (currently fitted as standard to the DF115 and DF140).  It has also led to changes to Suzuki’s operational processes, such as the removal of nearly 20 tonnes of plastics from its packaging since 2021.

OCEANR’s mission is to support companies around the world to achieve their sustainability objectives – from reducing their carbon footprint and encouraging responsible consumption practices; to sustainable innovation with new products and services. This is achieved by designing custom apparel and product ranges for organisations that live active lives on or near the water – with small volume production, using sustainable materials such as recycled polyester from reclaimed ocean waste, ethically produced organic cotton, and a closed loop supply chain (ie it seeks to recycle resources back into manufacturing rather than discard them).

Morgan Marine supports the positive impact of this campaign.  Please do give us a call on 01206 302003 or visit our chandlery & showroom if you would like more information on Suzuki outboards.

Newly Fitted CCTV At Morgan Marine

Newly Fitted CCTV At Morgan Marine

At Morgan Marine you may have seen some exciting changes taking place. We have been installing new CCTV cameras which cover the whole Morgan Marine site!

The Benefits:
  • By having these newly fitted CCTV cameras we are able to keep a better eye on your boats that are stored here with us, making them more safe with 24 hours protection. Whether your boat is in the workshop, yards, park and ride or moorings we now have full coverage.
  • In the unfortunate event of a crime occurring at Morgan Marine we have a way of collecting evidence to help suss out exactly what happened. Crimes can be solved far more easily with additional evidence from a CCTV camera, helping place times, locations and, most importantly, suspects.
  • It is always a good idea to keep records of who are entering and leaving the premises ie; deliveries or visitors entering. By having the new CCTV we can view and keep a track of what is taking place every day.
At Morgan Marine we love supporting local business especially one’s like Sound & Vision. Sound & Vision have fitted our brand new CCTV cameras. Not only was they very professional but they were also great for explaining how they work & ultimately keeping Morgan Marine and its customers safe. Check out below the new cameras footage and also the Link for Sound and Vison.

Removal of Environmental Contamination Source – Derelict and Abandoned Motor Boats

Removal of Environmental Contamination Source – Derelict and Abandoned Motor Boats

Morgan Marine was left with no choice this week but to take decisive action to remove two sunken motor boats from its marina. The Company had found itself in a difficult position whereby these boats had begun to leak diesel into the watercourse. Once glorious machines, these large vessels had become a danger to our environment. Both boats had lost hull integrity meaning they would no longer float. Each passing of the tide exposed metal fuel tanks and engines systems to the highly corrosive nature of seawater. Anything metal was being quite literally eaten away.

We could have taken the easy approach and said “this is not our problem”. On a Sunday evening, just a few days ago, we received a call from the coastguard, the harbour office, and also visits from members of the public concerned about the leakage of diesel from one of these boats and the severe detrimental effect this could have on our various wildlife habitats – something that we all treasure and enjoy.

We had of course noticed the onset of leaking oils ourselves, and through the good work of our employees, we had taken action to stem the flow. In doing so, we confirmed that the situation was dire. We were quite literally staring down the barrel of a gun, and facing the prospect that the fuel containers in either vessel could rupture at any time. We took immediate action to drain the fuel, but we could do little about residue material – wet hull planks soaked in diesel and oil.

Instead of ignoring this issue and claiming innocence, we took the difficult decision of committing significant expenditure to the professional removal of the severe environmental risk. Our judgement that it was better to take this step than to face widespread pollution to the creek that would affect so much more wildlife than the birds that had traditionally made these boats their seasonal home. We hope that you can agree that this was the right decision to make, that the dire situation was suddenly thrust upon us, that we were left with no choice but to take decisive action, and that we did what was right for our environment. We did not ask for this situation, we did not plan for it, and we did not need it.

We care about our environment which is why we have acted in the responsible manner that we have, putting nature first ahead of cost consideration. We have plans to improve the local wildlife habitats, creating increased and sustainable environments for the nature that we all so much enjoy.

We take our hat off to the supportive approach of all of our customers who have been significantly inconvenienced through this urgent action, and we thank everyone for their support.
