Floating oil boom (with pneumatic launching system)
SEA SPILL
Sea Safety Solutions
It is estimated that over 30 million gallons of oil is leaked from ships during normal operations in ports and harbours every year more than three times the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Machinery failure and human error are the major contributing factors. According to industry data, leakages of five to 1,000 tons have dropped dramatically in the last few years, but those under five tons have eased only marginally.
Swift initial containment response not only reduces environmental impact but also demonstrates that the responsible company or organisation has effectively planned to mitigate the risks associated with such unfortunate but inevitable incidents.
Over 80% of reported oil spills occur within port and harbour areas. However, the majority are small in size and result from normal operations such as loading and bunkering (MPCU 1997).
Sea Spill, a launchable emergency response containment system, has been specifically designed to provide a cost effective solution to these issues Launched from Restech range of PLT maxi and mini pneumatic systems, with extended range capabilities offered by SeaSam, the Sea Spill is effective even in strong wind and rough sea states.
