While the former method ends up in polluting marinas due to congestion, the other one is equally infecting. Specially designed to take care of black and grey waters, bilges water, garbage and macro-garbage, WILFRIED POINT introduces ECOTANK barge that seeks to resolve the problem of wild dumping in the marinas and anchoring areas.
