Ocean Cleanup’s gigantic ‘vacuum machine’, the Interceptor has been docked in the Klang stretch of the river for over two months now. The Interceptor, said Amirudin, has enhanced the state’s efforts of clearing Klang River of garbage. He added the machine on Klang River was the first full-fledged Interceptor and the one in Jakarta is a prototype. Slat said according to Ocean Cleanup’s models and measurements, the Klang River was one of the heaviest emitting rivers in term of plastics. He added the reduction in quantity indicated that the garbage in the Klang River had lessened.
