Marine pollution is one of the biggest climate change battles the world facing.

Whether it’s snorkelling, swimming, or cruising on a yacht, everyone loves the ocean. But are we doing enough to protect it? 

Going for a day trip to Comino or spending a relaxing Sunday on the boat with friends can have more than one negative impact on the surrounding environment. The amount of fuel that is dumped in the ocean to travel by sea is extraordinary.

We met with Nicky Borg Calleja, founder and CEO of Marine Hound. A local company who have joined the fight against the use of illegal fuel which has detrimental effects on our health, our environment and of course, marine life.

Keeping tabs on the amount of sulphur used in fuel is currently very time consuming. Marine Hound’s technology will dramatically change the way checks are done. 

Marine Hound has completely revolutionised the detection of illegal through emission control areas in ports and in ocean.
