OIL SPILL PREVENTION ARRANGEMENT AND OIL BOOM CONTAINEROIL SPILL PREVENTION ARRANGEMENT AND OIL BOOM CONTAINER

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an oil spill prevention arrangement and particularly to an oil spill prevention arrangement on a marine vessel or drilling rig.The present invention relates to an oil spill prevention arrangement and particularly to an oil spill prevention arrangement on a marine vessel or drilling rig.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In case of oil spillage, spilled oil spreads very rapidly on the surface of the water. Therefore a quick response to the oil spillages is needed. Some countries require that vessels sailing in their region must have readiness for emergency oil spill response.In case of oil spillage, spilled oil spreads very rapidly on the surface of the water.

Document EP 0716188 A1 discloses an oil boom of the kind which includes an elongated hose-like buoyant body and internal boom-distending elements in the form of inflatable annular hoses attached to the buoyant body. The oil boom is characterized in that at least when transported to its intended deployment site, the boom is in a rolled-up state or in some other packaged state which forms a boom pack that is held together by suitable means; and in that the annular hoses and their connecting hose elements are filled with air or some other appropriate gas at a pressure which when the boom is deployed and the boom-pack securing means have been loosened or released will cause the boom pack to expand explosively to achieve its effective state of use and therewith essentially its full length. The oil boom has a length of 300-400 m.Document EP 0716188 A1 discloses an oil boom of the kind which includes an elongated hose-like buoyant body and internal boom-distending elements in the form of an inflatable annular hoses attached to the buoyant body.

The problem with the solution is that the oil boom must be transported for example by helicopter to the emergency site. Transporting of the booms takes time, during which the spilled oil has already spread far away from the source.The problem with the solution is that the oil boom must be transported for example by helicopter to the emergency site. Transporting the booms takes time, during which the spilled oil has already spread far away from the source.

Another problem with the solution is that the oil boom pack is very heavy and thus does not stand dropping into water from height. Further, because the annular hoses and their connecting hose elements are filled with air or some other appropriate gas at a pressure, the boom pack is very large.Another problem with the solution is that the oil boom pack is very heavy and thus does not stand dropping into the water from height.
