Offshore containment and recovery removes oil from the environment and is the primary at-sea response strategy adopted by many governments around the world. It works by using boom to contain and concentrate floating oil, and a skimmer to physically recover oil from the sea surface and pump it into a suitable temporary storage container – often a floating barge.

Conventional Containment Conventional containment is a two-vessel technique, better suited for high percentage surface oil coverage before oil begins to fragment. Package contents:

Hi-speed Deployment Booms Like the conventional boom systems, this requires a two-vessel technique, and suited for high percentage surface oil coverage before oil begins to fragment. This Hi-Sprint system is deployed much faster than conventional booms and is inflated from a single point, rather than individual inflations points. |

Offshore Recovery OSRL delivers robust offshore weir skimmers complete with oleophilic attachments if required. The hydraulically driven recovery device is powered by a diesel power pack. All ancillaries, such as guide ropes, buoys, hoses and PPE are included. Package contents:

Temporary Offshore Storage In addition to the containment and recovery package, storage requirements should also be considered. If onboard vessel storage is not an option, OSRL can supply either 5, 10, 25 or 50 cubic metre inflatable offshore storage barges. The barges may be offloaded, towed by the recovery vessel or anchored. The barges are stored in the recovery container, complete with the designated lifting gear, cover, tow bridles and air inflator. |
