The Plastic Odyssey vessel left Saint-Nazaire, towards Marseille<\/h2>\n

Here we are! After three years of struggle and many adventures, we are pleased to announce that the vessel left Saint-Nazaire on Wednesday, August 3 for 8-9 days of navigation towards Marseille.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The M\/V Plastic Odyssey, ambassador of the fight against plastic pollution, is leaded by Captain Magaly Denat, with 8 crew members.<\/p>\n

After its acquisition in October 2019, the vessel went through several ordeals<\/a> – asbestos removal, repair of hull weaknesses… – and was completely renovated.<\/p>\n

The vessel is now ready to navigate after several months of navigation permit validation protocol.<\/p>\n

“After three years of hard work and many twists and turns, this departure from the port of Saint Nazaire is for us the culmination of part of the adventure in the Adventure. All these efforts and the unfailing support of the people who have accompanied us through these ordeals make this departure a great satisfaction for everyone.”<\/em> says Simon Bernard, CEO and Co-founder of Plastic Odyssey.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all our long-time partners<\/a> and supports. This wonderful adventure would not exist without you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
