Ocean Cleanup sponsor
29th August 2017

SWISSPACER has become the ‘Presenting Sponsor’ for sailor Matthias Eigenmann, a participant of the ‘Clipper Round the World’ sailing regatta, described as one of the toughest endurance tests known, with all participants being amateur sailors. Guided by a professional skipper, the team will sail eight legs, and cover 40,000 nautical miles across six oceans.

Matthias, 36, will sail on the Greenings race team for 11 months covering Uruguay, South Africa, Australia, China, the USA and more. The regatta departed from Albert Dock, Liverpool last week.

Money raised from sponsorship will be donated to ‘The Ocean Cleanup’ project, which is focused on developing new technologies to catch plastic and waste found in the ocean.

Swisspacer Managing Director Andreas Geith said: “Environmental issues will only continue to increase if we do not proactively support initiatives, such as the Ocean Cleanup, which aims to target pollution and create a plastic free ocean.

Eight million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year! We’re passionate about energy saving, and that extends to our commitment to recycle and reduce waste wherever possible.”
