SYSTEM MODEL DEVELOPMENT OF TWO FAST CURRENT OIL REMOVAL SYSTEMS

Presently, the effective removal of oil spills is limited to current speeds of about one knot. There are several high risk areas of the country where currents are in excess of one knot. To be able to effectively recover spilled oil in these areas, the Coast Guard has initiated a program to develop suitable systems. This program and the results to date are discussed herein along with its projected future direction.
