The WASTESHARK+ is here: Professional Power, Precision Control

2nd February, 2026 – We are officially launching the WasteShark+, a professional-grade aquatic drone designed specifically for those who need manual precision and industrial power. Built in the Netherlands, this model focuses on giving operators the best tools to manage water surfaces from the safety of the shore.

What is the WasteShark+?
The WasteShark+ is a 100% emission-free aquatic drone. It is a dedicated tool for removing floating debris and biomass in ports, marinas, and high-traffic waterways where manual control is often preferred for navigating around tight spots and expensive assets.

Meet the all new 2026 WasteShark+

How the “Plus” Upgrades Your Performance

While this model focuses on remote operation rather than autonomous path-planning, its upgrades significantly enhance what you can achieve in a day:

HD Remote Control (The Eyes of the Shark): Unlike standard models, the Plus comes with a 7″ 1080p HD screen. This gives you a crystal-clear, live video feed from up to 750m away, allowing you to target debris with pinpoint accuracy even when the drone is out of direct sight.
Powerful Rim Drive Thrusters: Engineered for professional environments, these 1kW motors provide immediate response and superior control. Because they have no center shaft, they are virtually immune to entanglement from ropes or nets that often disable standard propellers.
8-Hour Professional Runtime: Equipped with high-performance 48V Cleantron batteries, the Plus is built for a full shift. It can cover up to 12km on a single charge, ensuring your team completes their cleaning schedule without mid-day interruptions.
In-Water Charging: We’ve removed the heavy lifting. The drone features a waterproof “wet-charging” connector, so you can charge it directly at the dockside.
160L Floating “Swap & Go” Basket: To maximize your uptime, the large-capacity basket is designed to float. When it’s full, simply swap it for a fresh one in seconds so the Shark can get back to work immediately.
SharkTrolley Included: Every WasteShark+ comes with a professional, marine-grade aluminum trolley, making it easy to transport and deploy across multiple sites.

Why “Plus”?

The “Plus” represents a shift from basic tools to essential professional infrastructure. It provides the power, visibility, and endurance needed for all-day operations.
