The brief

The MCA wishes to purchase an At Sea Oil Containment System capable of operating in shallow waters.

The system should have the capability to capture a significant portion of an oil slick in shallow waters and to separate the oil and water.

The system should be capable of recovering both high viscosity oils e.g. heavy fuel oil and low viscosity oils e.g. diesel.

The Oil Containment System will be part of the MCA’s stockpile of Counter Pollution Equipment and will be used, in the event of a major marine oil spill, for the recovery of oil spilled into the seas around the UK, especially in shallow water areas close to the shore.
