Ships system for supplying the active substance to the contaminated area

Abstract

Due to the increase in cargo turnover, cargo operations and the number of ships transit through the Northern Sea Route, a great increase in the number and total amount of oil pollution from ships in the polar region is predicted. The article provides information about the distance of oil pollution places from the bases of forces and means for oil spill cleanup. The data on the command structure and their equipment are presented. The necessity of taking measures to eliminate oil pollutions as soon as possible is represented. For the implementation of prompt response to oil pollution, a system for supplying an active substance to the pollution zone is proposed, its composition and principle of operation are described. The STRG brand sorbent was chosen as the active substance. The authors express an opinion about the required use of such systems on icebreakers, supplier ships in the oil fields and rescue ships.
