Port and Harbour Equipment

Our port and harbour equipment package includes all the essential components for an effective and rapid spill response, stored in a 10-foot DNV (Det Norske Veritas) container. This format supports compatibility with global transport networks, making it easy to deliver equipment by road, rail, or sea:

• Fence boom – Provides reliable containment for oil spills in confined waters.
• Skimmer and hydraulic pump unit – Efficient oil recovery in port environments.
• Temporary storage container – A flexible, durable temporary storage solution.
• Absorbent pads – Essential for final clean-up and containment of residual oil and lubes.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) sets – Ensures responder safety during spill response operations.

Our fence booms are designed to control and limit the spread of oil within enclosed and semi-enclosed water bodies. 

Fence booms are particularly suitable for rapid response where storage and handling space is limited. Our fence boom is stored on hydraulically powered reels for fast and efficient deployment and recovery. It is foam-filled and does not require air inflation. 

Recovering oil in ports or harbours requires compact, high-performance skimmers that can operate efficiently in confined spaces. We offer multiple options of skimming devices to adapt to your response needs. Our range includes:

• Weir Skimmers – Ideal for recovering large volumes of heavy oil.
• Oleophilic Skimmers – Designed for handling light to medium fuel oils.

All the skimmers are lightweight and durable, can be manoeuvred without the need for mechanical assistance, and are ideal for port environments.

Managing recovered oil is critical to preventing secondary pollution. We provide temporary storage solutions with a 10,000-litre capacity to store recovered oil at the quayside. Two people can erect the storage tank in under 10 minutes, and it can be positioned on almost all level surfaces. 

Our port and harbour response package is designed for spills of various oil types, including light fuels, marine diesel, and heavier crude oils. The skimmers and booms provided are effective in a wide range of conditions.

The equipment is designed for rapid deployment, with fence booms and skimmers that can be operational within hours. The exact response time will depend on site conditions and responder readiness.

Yes, while the equipment is designed for ease of use, we recommend that operators undergo training to ensure safe and effective deployment. OSRL offers training courses tailored to port and harbour spill response.

Yes, OSRL can tailor equipment packages based on site-specific risk assessments and operational requirements. Additional skimmers, booms, or dispersant systems can be included as needed.

OSRL offers equipment hire for members as part of our preparedness services, as well as ad-hoc hire for non-members. Contact us to discuss availability, pricing, and logistics.
