Oil Spill Response & Recovery
Vessels for effective
spill response.
Purpose-specific vessels for oil spill containment, recovery and marine cleanup operations.

Marine pollution response
The right platform.
The right recovery system.
Oil spill response depends on both the vessel and the equipment it can carry, deploy and support.
We help define and source dedicated oil spill recovery vessels, multipurpose response craft and harbor-cleaning vessels around the operating requirement.
The search considers the working area, vessel condition, recovery equipment, storage arrangements and delivery priorities. Equipment capability and operating approvals are assessed with the appointed technical specialists.
Vessel categories
Containment, recovery
and cleanup support.
Multipurpose Response Craft
Support vessels configured for a defined response role.
- Boom and equipment transport
- Crane, winch and deck arrangements
- Recovery-system integration options
Harbor & Cleaning Vessels
Specialized craft for ports, terminals and coastal waters.
- Floating-waste and debris collection
- Surface-cleaning and pollution control
- Shallow-water and access requirements
Equipment & integration
Assess the complete
response platform.
A vessel’s specification needs to be considered together with the intended recovery equipment.
For an existing vessel, independent inspection and an equipment review help establish the work required before mobilization. Newbuild and conversion proposals can be compared against the same operational brief.
Requirement checklist
Define the response requirement.
A clear operating profile makes vessel and equipment proposals easier to compare.
| Operating area | Port, terminal, coastal or offshore service; access and environmental conditions |
|---|---|
| Recovery package | Required boom, skimmer, pump and handling arrangements |
| Storage | Recovered-liquid capacity, transfer arrangements and tank configuration |
| Vessel capability | Deck area, power, endurance, crew and equipment integration |
| Acquisition | Existing vessel or newbuild; budget, location and delivery target |

Practical information to help define your requirement and understand the next stage.
Which oil spill recovery and cleaning vessels do you cover?
The category includes dedicated oil spill recovery vessels, multipurpose pollution-response craft, and harbor or coastal cleaning vessels.
Can recovery equipment be included in the search?
Yes. The brief can specify boom, skimmer, pump, handling and recovered-liquid storage requirements. The equipment package and its integration are assessed for the intended task.
Can an existing support vessel be converted?
That depends on the vessel condition, working deck, power, tank arrangements and proposed equipment. An independent technical assessment is needed to define a credible conversion scope.
Do these vessels also collect floating waste?
Some cleaning vessels are configured for floating debris or surface-waste collection. That role should be specified separately from oil recovery so the correct platform and equipment can be compared.
What should an initial oil spill response brief include?
Operating area, required response role, recovery package, storage needs, vessel capacity, budget and delivery priorities.
Can you source specialist workboats and response vessels?
Our sourcing scope includes crew transfer, fast supply, tugs and workboats, survey and inspection, search and rescue, and firefighting. Availability and specifications are confirmed for each inquiry.
