| Description |
The Minerals Management Service
and Conservation and Protection Agency, Environment Canada, initiated open ocean oil spill
response equipment performance evaluations in 1984. The objective of this study was to
develop a nonpolluting and cost-effective testing procedure. This standardized testing
would provide a predictive capability for the behavior of each piece of equipment in a
range of sea states. This standardized test procedure could be used to approve specific
pieces of equipment for different lease areas. |
