1970 · Ephemeral film · 15 min

Synopsis

The film discusses the critical importance of clean oceans and shores, emphasizing mankind's historical exploitation of the ocean and the urgent need for environmental protection. It highlights the challenges posed by supertankers, which are massive vessels designed for efficient oil transportation but create significant environmental risks. The film proposes the use of single-point mooring systems (monoboys) as a solution for safely loading and unloading oil offshore, minimizing disruption to marine ecosystems and coastal environments. These systems offer economic advantages and help maintain a clean ocean, demonstrating that technological advancements can coexist with environmental stewardship.
