Evacuating pollutants from the site

Boats cleaning water surfaces
Evacuating pollutants from the site must not hinder the cleanup operation.

Standard system used currently

The tankers used in spill cleanup operations normally have a storage capacity of 500 to 1,500m3. At best, in theory, with 24-hour pumping, their tanks will be filled within 1 to 2 weeks. The tankers would then have to abandon the cleanup operation to return to port, empty the tanks and return to the site.

Disadvantages

The cleanup boat has to leave the site for several days.
