The Faculty of Engineering at Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya, in collaboration with the Songkhla City Municipality, has launched a project on sustainable waste management technology in the marine tourism industry.

On October 3, 2024, led by Assistant Professor Udon Namesen, Vice President of Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya, and Professor Seree Thongchum, Deputy Dean for Administration and Planning, representing the Dean and faculty members from the Faculty of Engineering, in collaboration with the Songkhla City Municipality, implemented the project titled “From Crisis to Adaptation: Developing High-Quality Marine Tourism in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman.” This initiative focuses on enhancing learning ecosystems, modern management, technology, and innovation for the fiscal year 2024.

The project aims to develop waste management methods for the marine tourism industry, particularly through the creation of a rubber sweeping technology for sea waste collection vehicles. This technology serves as a crucial component of the beach-cleaning machines attached to garbage trucks.

The Faculty of Engineering has successfully completed the project. On this occasion, we would like to extend our gratitude to the Songkhla City Municipality for its support and collaboration in this endeavor.
