Summary[edit]

Description

October 10, 2021

Galveston, Texas

An oil spill removal organization (OSRO) deploys an inclined belt skimmer with a side arm collection system from their response vessel during a training session. For this response tactic, containment boom is stretched on an outrigger extending from the vessel. As the vessel moves forward, oil is corralled by the boom and directed towards the inclined belt skimmer located in the boom pocket. Oil that sticks to the belt is scraped off and pumped aboard the vessel. BSEE Preparedness Analysts from the Oil Spill Preparedness Division (OSPD) regularly observe these types of activities to ensure compliance with regulations and to monitor the overall vigor of the oil spill preparedness and response community.
